& Premium – April 2026 Issue: Kyoto Local Guide

The Guide to a Better Life

(JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

In November 2013, the magazine "& Premium" was launched with the declaration of "The Guide to a Better Life". Since then, I have been trying to create magazines that are useful for better life, such as fashion, interior, daily necessities, beauty, food, travel, and culture. Not only can you relax and feel the joy of coming into contact with beautiful things, but you can also try to cherish the details one by one, try to find out the essence, take the time to do it, and do something good for your body. As a result, our basic policy is to be happy if we can live comfortably.

In this issue:

The latest issue of &Premium is a travel guide for discovering "everyday Kyoto." From the small shops springing up one after another in quiet residential areas, neighborhoods brimming with ancient culture and aesthetics, the latest breakfast and snack spots, and places showcasing traditional Japanese crafts... We asked locals to show us around, from up-and-coming areas outside the downtown area to walking routes around classic tourist spots and their surrounding areas.
