Kyoto-Prague sister city anniversary celebrations

Overview

Kyoto and Prague are conducting various commemorative activities to mark the 30th anniversary of their sister city relationship, which was established in 1996.

Initial celebrations include an academic lecture titled ‘Architecture of Prague and Kyoto: From Czech Cubism to Contemporary Architectural Thought’ scheduled for November 29, 2026, at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art. This event features experts from several universities to examine cultural and architectural links. Additionally, real estate developer Pressance Co., Ltd. has donated 100 million yen to Kyoto Prefecture to support regional revitalization and young artists, specifically aiding the ‘Liminal Yoshikatsu Ikeuchi Exhibition’ in October.

Further festivities include the ‘Czech Festival 2026 in Kyoto,’ a three-day event held from October 10 to 12 at the plaza in front of Kyoto City Hall.
