Kyoto

For more than a thousand years, from the founding of Heian-kyō in 794 until the early Meiji era, Kyoto was Japan’s capital. Alongside its temples, townhouses and gardens, crafts such as Nishijin weaving, Kyō-yūzen dyeing and Kyō-yaki ceramics are still practised today. On Shinfudoki, Kyoto appears through its architecture, its clothing and its traditions of hospitality.
