Kyoto

Kyoto is a major city in Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai region of central Honshu. It served as Japan's imperial capital from 794, when the court moved to Heian-kyo, until 1868, when the capital transferred to Tokyo, shaping its urban form and culture. The city features landmarks such as Kiyomizu-dera temple, Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine with its torii gate paths, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion), and Nijo Castle, a former Tokugawa shogun residence; many are grouped in the UNESCO World Heritage "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto." Kyoto lies in a basin crossed by the Kamo and Katsura rivers and includes districts like Gion, known for geisha arts. Festivals such as the Gion Matsuri and a strong university community sustain its role in Japanese history, religion, and learning.
