Brutus - New Perspective Kyoto

A thoughtful introduction to Kyoto’s quieter corners and enduring traditions.

In this English edition, BRUTUS turns its attention to Kyoto, exploring the city with the same editorial perspective that has shaped the magazine for decades.

The issue moves beyond well-known landmarks to highlight places where Kyoto’s character continues to unfold—temples, cafés, craft spaces, restaurants, and neighborhoods that reveal the city’s slower rhythm. Through a balance of photography and editorial storytelling, the magazine presents Kyoto as a place experienced through atmosphere, craft, and everyday moments.

New Perspective Kyoto offers readers a more intimate way to discover one of Japan’s most storied cities.
