Discover the history of Kioto.

Kyoto is a city located in the central region of Honshu, the main island of Japan. Founded in 794 AD, Kyoto was the country's capital for over a thousand years, until the capital was transferred to Tokyo in the late 19th century.

During this long period, Kyoto was the cultural, political, and religious center of Japan, being the place where many aspects of traditional Japanese culture developed. The city is home to a large number of temples, shrines, gardens, and palaces, making it one of the main cultural centers of the country.

Kyoto was spared from bombings during World War II, which helped preserve its historical and cultural heritage. Today, the city is an important tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors every year in search of its rich history, traditional architecture, and ancient traditions.
