Outdoor & Transit Advertising in Kyoto
Kyoto is one of Japan’s most visited cities and a major stop on the Tokaido shinkansen, drawing large numbers of domestic and international visitors throughout the year. It is also one of the most tightly regulated outdoor advertising environments in the country: since its 2007 landscape policy, rooftop advertising is banned city-wide and flashing or moving illuminated signs are prohibited, so campaigns here are planned around stations and transit rather than street-level billboards.
A heritage city where advertising runs through stations, not skylines.
Station and transit media are the main channel in Kyoto. Kyoto Station, the city subway and the private railways that serve Shijo and Kawaramachi carry posters, in-station digital screens and train advertising, and in-cab taxi video is also available. Street-level billboards and large outdoor screens are scarce by design: the city’s outdoor advertising ordinance sets strict size, height and colour rules by district on top of the city-wide bans, so we confirm what a site allows before proposing it.
Who you reach
Domestic and international visitors arriving through Kyoto Station, commuters and students on the city subway and the private railways, shoppers in the Shijo and Kawaramachi districts, and business audiences around Karasuma.
What brands run here
- Inbound and domestic tourism campaigns reaching visitors as they arrive at Kyoto Station
- Kansai campaigns adding Kyoto coverage alongside Osaka through station and transit media
- Retail, food and culture campaigns in the Shijo-Kawaramachi shopping district
