More than ever, people are nowadays interested in historical background, cultural identity, cultural meanings, meanings conveying historical heritage in the whole, and are searching very intensely for these issues. (Robinson et al., 1996b). In addition, the interaction between visitors and the place they visit, the participants seek to learn and experience the cultural and historic features of local people’s everyday life precisely because it is something that most people do not experience in their normal life, and also play a big part of cultural tourist’s interest. “The visitor is increasingly immersed in the experience and participates.” (Buhalis and Costa, 2006a, p.241).
超出任何时候，人们当今对历史背景，文化认同，文化意思，在整个历史遗产传承意义感兴趣，并非常强烈的搜索这些问题。（Robinson等，1996年b）。此外，游客和他们访问的地方之间的互动，参与者寻求学习和体验当地人们的日常的生活正是文化和历史特点，因为是东西，大多数人没有经历在他们的正常生活，也发挥文化旅游的权益的重要组成部分。 “访客越来越多地沉浸在体验和参与。”（Buhalis and Costa, 2006a, p.241）。

As it was stated before, tourism regards culture, and especially cultural heritage, as one of the fundamental motivation factors of culture tourists’ journeys. However, the motivation and the tourist behaviour are complicated, some types of cultural tourists may visit one site but for different reasons and seek different experiences. For example, as previously noted, the Asian youth travel to Japan for their cultural pilgrimage, they may visit Himeji Castle (see picture 2) which is located within the big Kyoto region, as many popular movies and TV dramas take place around this area, such as ‘篤姬’ (ATSUHIME). It also attracts purposeful and sightseeing cultural tourists because it is the most important historic castle in Japanese history, http://ukthesis.org/dissertation_sampleand has been recognized as national treasure, it is also the first Japanese heritage site which was registered on UNESCO's (United Nations World Tourism Organization) World Heritage list in 1993.

有人说，旅游文化，尤其是文化遗产方面，为文化的游客的行程基本激励因素之一。然而，复杂的动机和旅游行为，某些类型的文化游客可能访问一个网站，但出于不同的原因，并寻求不同的体验。例如，如前所述，他们的文化朝圣亚洲青年到日本旅游，他们可能前往姬路城（参见图2），这是位于大京都地区内，许多流行的电影和电视剧在这个区域附近的地方，如'笃姬'（笃姬）。这也吸引了有目的和观光文化游客，因为它是在最重要的历史性城堡在日本历史上，并已经公认的国宝，它是也的第一个日本遗产网站被联合国教科文组织的（美国联合国世界旅游组织）世界遗产登记在1993年的名单。#p#分页标题#e#

Although, everyday culture increasingly infuses cultural tourism patterns. The comprehensive tour play a key part of the overall cultural experience than simply heritage sites, though historic buildings visits and classical performances, traditional events and festivals remain an essential part of cultural tourism. The everydayness of culture, involves tourists spending large amounts of time walking around, experiencing the atmosphere of the city. “Cultural heritage tourists are active participants, learning and experiencing the ‘other’ they visit.” (Novelli, 2005, p.112) As a result, “heritage attractions can no longer be marketed as static products but must be dynamic experiences.” (Drummond and Yeoman, 2001, p.246)
虽然，日常文化越来越多地注入文化旅游模式。综合旅游，发挥整体文化体验的一个关键部分不是简单地遗址，参观历史悠久的建筑和古典表演，传统活动和节日虽然仍然是一个文化旅游的重要组成部分。日常性文化，包括游客，花费大量的时间四处走动，体验这个城市的气氛。 “文化遗产游客的积极参与者，学习和体验的'其他'他们访问”（诺维，2005年，第112页）因此，“文物景点再也不能在市场上销售为静态的产品，但必须是动态的经验。”（Drummond 和 Yeoman, 2001, p.246）
 

The culture of a region offers a rich resource of tourist experiences beyond solely the enjoyment of literature, architecture and museums, it is what imparts character to a tourist destination. Despite those traditional attractions still playing a key role in the cultural tourism market; Kyoto provides a wide range of learning and experiencing on its traditional intangible culture associated with traditional cultural features and combine special interests, activities and experiences. For example, the class of a Tea Ceremony while wearing a real kimono (see picture 1 and 2), the Art of Flower Arrangement (see picture 3), Japanese Shodo, or calligraphy (see picture 4); the traditional Kyoto style dancing; Kyoto Cuisine; especially, the experience at the Geisha community: the cultured district of Kyoto where Geisha and Maiko live, study and work; and the important traditional culture including Japanese music and dance are alive. The tourist also could learn how a traditional Geisha make up and dress up, and teaching is by highly skilled artists. Such products include elements of education, knowledge development, and internal exploration which become an important part in the Kyoto tourism market.

While the appreciation of “high culture” remains as important focus for the Kyoto tourism industry, another new and powerful trend has been increasingly impacting on the cultural tourism demand. In recent decades, huge numbers of youths who have been influenced by the Japanese popular culture from other parts of Asia travel to Japan, those young visitors “prefer package guided tours to attractions” and they “mostly travel independently to Japan for their cultural pilgrimage.” (Cochrane, 2008, p.183)

Specially the three famous festivals: Aoi Festival (Date: 15 May), Gion Festival (Date: 1-31 July), Jidai Festival (Date: 22 October) and Gozan Fire Festival (Date: Starting from 8pm on 16th August).

Event attendance are the outcome of tourists’ motives, as well as marketing, destination features and contingency factors such as money, health and time relating to the traveller’s choice of behaviour.
