日本京都市(Kyoto City)

Kyoto City
The central area of Kyoto City lies in a valley. The area is rich in springs, wells, ponds, and other water sources. Its valley climate makes it hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Some snow collects in winter in the north, while the south has a long history of flooding. It is the site of the former Imperial Palace, and is a strategic center for Kyoto Prefecture’s business, industry, and transportation. Kyoto has a vast pool of shrines, temples, and cultural facilities, and a long tradition of numerous grand festivals and traditional events. It can also be said that one special feature of Kyoto is its monthly markets, held at places such as Toji Temple and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.
