Kyoto still retains many very "antique" houses.

The reason is simple. At the time, the United States bombed many industrial cities, but it did not bomb Kyoto.

Therefore, a lot of "ancient buildings" have been preserved. There are more than 4,000 shrines and more than 2,000 temples. The neon traditional style is the strongest here, and the pace is different from Tokyo.

Kyoto's industry is mainly based on textiles, and there are also a large number of traditional handicrafts such as dyeing, ceramics, wine making, lacquerware, and fans.

Over the past 30 years, Kyoto has formulated an "International Cultural Tourism City Development Act", which shows where the direction is.

But until now, there has been no research on how to bring this cultural and tourist city to a higher level, focusing on the development of industry, and there is no very systematic approach.

Located in Gion Town, Higashiyama District, in front of the main entrance of Yasaka Shrine on the same mountain as the famous historic site, is a main road called Shijo-dori. Its east end is Yasaka Shrine and its west end is Matsuo Taisha. The eastern section of Shijo-dori spans

There is a river called Kamogawa, and if you walk one or two kilometers north along this river, you can see the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the former imperial residence, on the west side.

Now, not far from the entrance of Hachimon Shrine, next to Shijo Dori Street, there is a teahouse that still retains the traditional wooden structure. The shopkeeper, Nagasawa Fumio, who has been running a small tea tasting business, looked at the governor of Kyoto Prefecture with a little fear.

, he confirmed with restraint: "Eh? Is it true? This is not a joke!"

"It's absolutely true. Please prepare as soon as possible. Governor Ichimura is accompanying Mr. Kaifu on an inspection and will be here soon. There is no need to prepare deliberately. It's just a little tidying up. You adults will sit here for a while.

, drink tea and have a chat.”

"I see..." The shop owner hurriedly called to the middle-aged woman in kimono in the shop and began to wipe the table and floor.

As expected, many people appeared next to the Shijo Bridge. Cameras and cameras kept taking pictures, and Kyoto Prefecture Governor Sawa Fumio accompanied Jun Kaifu by his side, introducing the situation here.

Jun Kaifu does look younger and more energetic than Takegami and Soue Uno before, and his figure is much more proportionate.

While he was listening to the introductions of Nagasawa Fumio and others, he kept asking questions humbly and sincerely.

The group of people walked to the door of the tea house unknowingly. Nagasawa Fumio stopped and said: "This is Isshinju, Kaifu-san, which has been running here for five generations. It has been a hard journey all the way, and it is here."

Take a seat and ask the shop owner about the business situation in this area."

"Then excuse me." Kaifu Shun smiled slightly and was about to walk inside.

Looking at this small tea room, it seemed impossible to let so many reporters in, so someone shouted: "Kaifu-sama, are you coming to Kyoto to prepare for taking over as Prime Minister? Isn't that right?

We should also vigorously promote real estate development in Kyoto, right?”

Someone shouted, and for a moment there were only questions.

"Kaibu-sama, may I ask what special economic measures you will take after taking over as Prime Minister?"

"Kaifu-sama, please tell us the reason for coming to Kyoto!"

"Kaifu-sama, do you still have to insist on the implementation of the consumption tax?"

"Kaifu-sama..."

Faced with the continuous voices and the microphone approaching, Jun Kaifu stopped, turned around, bowed slightly, and then said loudly: "Everyone, although I have not officially taken over as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, I am indeed already preparing for the response.

Hong Kong's economy and development are being prepared. Now, please let me continue to investigate some situations. Specific countermeasures will be discussed and announced to you as soon as possible. Regarding the situation where I can't say anything more now, please

understanding!"

"However, the reason why I came to Kyoto is definitely not because of real estate. Kyoto is a city with profound historical and cultural heritage. I have emphasized this during the policy platform debate of the intra-party election! Our Neon's strength and status

Further improvement is absolutely not allowed

We can only rely on the prosperity of real estate and finance! So please rest assured about this. My goal is dialogue and reform! Now, I just want to talk to the residents of Kyoto. I will do a lot of such things first. Please continue

Please be more patient, I'm sorry."

He bowed again, smiled at Fumio Nagasawa, and then walked into the tea room.

Naturally, the reporters outside would not just disperse, but they could not enter inside to hear what he and Nagasawa Fumio talked about.

However, you can always interview the store manager later, right?

It didn't take long, after more than ten minutes, Jun Kaifu and Fumio Nagasawa came out and continued walking in the direction of Yasaka Shrine.

Some reporters who stayed behind interviewed the store manager, and reporters who followed also saw Jun Kaifu chatting with store managers or clerks in store after store along the street.

There seems to be only one theme: travel.

The reporters looked at each other in shock when Toshi Kaifu vowed that he would definitely find the driving force and method to bring more lasting economic prosperity to the people of Kyoto.

You don’t care about real estate and finance, you don’t care about consumption tax and agricultural product import policies, you don’t care about how to get rid of political evils, what do you care about tourism?

…

The daytime schedule is just a way for Jun Kaifu to increase his exposure and show his diligence and dedication.

Naturally, the real purpose can only be communicated in private first.

However, this meeting still showed some different styles from the past.

At least not at the restaurant.

In a conference room of the Kyoto Government Office, many people were invited and rushed here.

There are Nobuhiko Horikawa, the chairman of Daiichi Kanye Bank, and Hitachi Takagi, the executive director, Naoki Kobayashi, the chairman of Hankyu Electric Railway, Masahiko Nishino, the chairman of Toho, and Jichiro Umezu, the chairman and directors of Itochu Corporation.

Aota Nagaomi, as well as Ueda Masahiro and his prospective son-in-law, Tao Dalang, who built the "Gate of Heaven" in Tokyo.

People who come here now know some of the reasons, but they don't fully know.

Anyway, just listen first.

Nagasawa Fumio continued: "Everyone, thank you for being here today, especially Mr. Tao, who is here to visit Mr. Ueda, for taking the time to accept the invitation. I am very grateful."

Jun Kaifu stood up first, bowed, then sat down and said: "Thank you all for coming, so I won't be polite. This time I came to Kyoto, hoping to find someone who can be a nun from Kyoto, which has the deepest cultural heritage.

The idea of ​​​​creating a new economic engine."

Everyone heard this statement, and except for Tao Zhiming and Masahiro Ueda, everyone else was a little confused. What kind of new economic engine should be created? It seemed very vague.

Jun Kaifu continued: "I believe everyone knows that today I am paying attention to the situation of tourism. In fact, neon lights have developed to such a prosperous level today. In addition to more and more citizens traveling, it also attracts foreign tourists.

Neon has great potential to experience culture, consumption and shopping. I hope to serve Neon

Find measures to combine culture and tourism for development. If more places can prosper without relying on industry, real estate or finance, everyone will not have to crowd into big cities like Tokyo and Osaka for job opportunities.

Cities are feeling tremendous pressure from high real estate prices."

Now everyone understands that this is the truth, but can this be achieved by traveling?

But in the past two years, although golf and skiing have been booming, haven't they all turned into real estate and financial speculation?

When Jun Kaifu said this, he said to Tao Zhiming: "Tao Jun, you have proposed the idea of ​​building a yacht home port in Tokyo and proposed the idea of ​​Nanpu Bay in Hokkaido. Do you have any ideas about my idea?"

Tao Zhiming, who had to cooperate with him in the performance, did his best to perform. First of all, he smiled: "Since my father returned to Kansai, I have been here many times, and I have fallen in love with this city more and more. In fact, there was also a tour in Osaka Bay at that time

The idea of ​​building a yacht home port can only be built in Tokyo first."

No one thought he was refusing, because after all, Jun Kaifu seemed to be here because of him.

Masahiko Nishino knew even more clearly that Yasuko Sawaguchi said that he had planned a movie, and it seemed that he had to seek the approval of Munue Uno. Now that he and President Kobayashi appear here, it must be related to this, right?

Sure enough, Tao Zhiming continued: "When it comes to tourism, it reminds me of an example. When "Snow Country" won Neon's first Nobel Prize, Yuzawa Town became a famous symbol. President Tsutsumi has a long-term vision.

A ski competition was held there. When the Shinkansen is opened, we will go there and ski

Snow has become a new fashion. The year before last, Chairman Nishino and Toho released the love movie "Take Me Skiing", which was the best booster for this craze. Chairman Tsutsumi told me that since this movie

After it was released, the number of people skiing last year increased by nearly 40% compared to the year before, which is really amazing."

Seeing that he had brought the topic here, Masahiko Nishino said modestly: "No, actually we made this movie because we saw the rise of skiing."

Tao Zhiming smiled, and then said to Jun Kaifu: "Sir Kaifu, if you want to talk about the idea... I think maybe literary works, comics, animations, TV series, movies, and even games, these cultural products can promote tourism.

effect. If we hope to attract more foreign tourists, we need to increase the intensity of publicity abroad. Of course, there must be more popular works like "Take Me Skiing"."

"Promote it through movies and TV series?" Jun Kaifu looked thoughtful, "This must form a long-term model and mechanism."

Tao Zhiming looked thoughtful for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue. As you all know, I invested in an art creation park on the shore of Onuma Lake in Hokkaido. Among them, there is a film and television shooting

Base. Last year, a TV series "My Love from the Star" that I invested in filmed many scenes there. At that time, I had the idea that the film and television shooting base could also be used for tourism, so I planned another one in Hong Kong.

Film and Television City Project.”

He followed this topic, as if he was interested, and introduced what a film and television city is, and what kind of industry scale can be incubated around the film and television city in the future.

Jun Kaifu shook his head when he heard this: "At this moment, if Neon continues to carry out such large-scale real estate development, even though it is a tourism project, it will still bring about an increase in surrounding real estate prices."

When he shook his head like this, the people from Daiichi Banking and Hankyu Electric Railway were moved in their hearts.

Could it be that they were acting? Could it be that this was Tao Zhiming's suggestion, and Jun Kaifu came because of him, just to find a safe way in Kyoto?

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "That kind of film and television city is comprehensive and closed. After all, it is a new building, not a real monument. For Kyoto, I think the entire city can be regarded as an open film and television city.

.Although people need to enjoy the convenience of modern life, if we can place where ancient buildings are concentrated, try to

By transforming overly modern decorations, burying things like wires underground, and encouraging residents to wear traditional clothes as much as possible, it will probably be very flavorful. In suburban villages, we can build some scenes of the Edo period

A small scenic spot can be used for most film and television productions. President Nishino, what do you think?"

"Indeed... if there is no need to build scenes, the production cost of many ancient-themed works can be reduced a lot."

Naoki Kobayashi from Hankyu Electric Railway knew why he was here. He recalled the place Jun Kaifu had been to today and immediately said: "The eastern section of Shijo-dori, between the entrance of Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple, is very suitable for this idea!"

Why is he so active? Because Hankyu Electric Railway has multiple subway stations including Shijo in that area. The subway stations are surrounded by comprehensive commercial complexes.
