& Premium– City Guide: Kyoto (2024)

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:

*This book is an excerpt, re-edited, expanded and revised version of the serial articles published in the January 2022 to December 2023 issues of &Premium. The contents of the magazine are as of the time of first publication and may differ in part from the current issue.
