The short answer
A strong Kyoto poster balances the famous (temples, gates, gardens) with the quiet (lanes, tea, signage). The illustrated collage lets you include both without any single scene dominating.
Photos to include
- Temple and shrine architecture
- Gardens and seasonal color
- Narrow lanes and wooden facades
- Food and tea moments
- Signage and small details
- A photo with people at a respectful distance
Balance icons and everyday scenes
Kyoto invites both big monuments and tiny details. In the illustrated collage, a gate, a garden and a tea cup sit side by side as equals, each drawn in one consistent style.
Seasonal color
If you traveled in autumn or spring, let the seasonal color lead. The poster palette is chosen from the colours in your photos, so a golden-autumn trip gets warm inks.
A note on people
Choose photos where bystanders are small or not identifiable, and respect local rules about photography.
Suggested style: Illustrated Collage
A collage holds many small scenes and big landmarks without one dominating.

FAQ
How many photos should I use for a Kyoto poster?
10–20 works best: enough variety for a rich collage, few enough that each subject stays large and legible.
Who makes and ships the poster?
When ordering opens, a vetted independent print partner in your region of the US or Canada will print, frame and ship it, so the poster travels a short domestic distance.
