Site Description

Located in a tranquil park setting at the base of Mount Hiei, ICC Kyoto is one of Japan’s premier venues for international meetings. The striking modernist architecture blends with surrounding gardens, ponds, and mountain views, offering a calm and inspiring atmosphere just 20 minutes by subway from Kyoto Station.

Between sessions, attendees can enjoy walking paths, a traditional Japanese strolling garden, and nearby Takaragaike Pond. Direct access from the Kokusaikaikan subway station makes arrival simple, and on-site dining, networking areas, and adjacent hotels add convenience for multi-day events.
