Chairman’s Greetings
International Community Club (ICC) is a non-profit organization established in 1st October 2012. Our aim is to make life as easy as possible for foreigners to Kyoto, whether they are staying long term or short term. We are able to provide a wide variety of services. Kyoto was the capital of Japan for more than 1,000 years, until Japan opened up to the world in the nineteenth century. It was therefore a center of Japanese culture and a focus for Japanese history. It has been an outstanding city for traditional arts and crafts, for academic study and for cutting-edge technology. By visiting Kyoto you will be able to explore one of the finest cities in the world and also gain a feeling for Japanese history.
Kyoto has welcomed visitors from various backgrounds – students, businessmen and foreign residents. We are honoured to act as your hosts, to help you to explore the city and to create an international network for a better society in Kyoto.We are looking forward to providing you with our cooperation and support during your stay in Japan.
