A MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS AND VISITORS: We appreciate everyone’s continued interest in and support of Kyoto by the Sea. To help slow the spread of COVID-19, we are asking everyone to monitor their health, stay hydrated, and of course stay positive!
Our region has one of the highest densities of elderly people worldwide, and it is our highest priority to protect those most vulnerable. So for the foreseeable future we request that you visit our area virtually. Welcome to the Virtual Sea; surf all you like.
You have found the Origin of Japan
Kyoto by the Sea is called the 'origin of Japan' because it is believed to

This area is a mecca of wellness and life longevity, award winning sake

spots that include pristine bays and a global geopark.
