Kyoto attracts a great number of tourists from overseas every year.  （1）One of the reasons for that is the residents’ efforts to conserve the ancient capital of Japan.  It is surprising to see them tidy up every side street throughout the year.  （2）Another reason is the city officials’ efforts to make full use of IT in communicating with overseas tourists.  They provide multilingual websites to help tourists find their destinations.  （3）As a result, for the second year in a row, Kyoto has been voted the world’s best city to visit by readers of an American travel magazine.  More and more overseas visitors to Kyoto will be fascinated with various aspects of this city, not to mention the Buddhist temples and the Shinto shrines.
