Kyoto city attracts millions of local and international visitors each year who are looking for traditional Japanese culture and Kyoto is world-famous for its refined culture, dining, and charm of rural Japan. Its shrines and temples offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past.
You and your team are sure to never get bored with all the things you can do in Kyoto for your team-building retreat.
Famous for its numerous classical Buddhist temples, gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines, and traditional wooden houses, Kyoto has tons of attractions such as Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kinkaku-ji, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and so much more. Try their famous dish yudofu which is made with tofu, water, kelp, and a dipping sauce.
But Kyoto isn’t just about Buddhist temples and shrines, they also offer plenty of team-building activities as well to bring more attachment and coordination among teammates instead of just plain high-fives. Have a tea ceremony, a Japanese cooking class, or a Samurai treasure hunt. Such activities can make your team more successful, more productive, and more effective in the workplace.
