Kyoto is the most famous tourist destination in Japan.
Until the capital moved to Tokyo after the Meiji era, there was a capital in Kyoto from Heiankyo in 794 until the end of the Edo period.
In 1994, shrines and temples in Kyoto, Uji and Otsu in Shiga Prefecture were registered as World Cultural Heritage.
Traditional crafts include Nishijinori, a woven fabric, and Shimizu Yaki, a pottery.
