京都は、日本の文化発祥の地であり、かつて恭仁京や長岡京、そして平安京といった、日本の首都が置かれた場所でもありました。大きな戦災に度々見舞われたものの、歴史的な文化遺産が数多く残っています。そのため、国内外から多くの旅行客が訪れる観光都市です。
Kyoto is known as the birthplace of Japanese culture, and was once home to several of Japan's former capitals, including Kuni-kyo(恭仁京), Nagaoka-kyo(長岡京), and Heian-kyo(平安京). Despite having suffered significant damage during wartime, it still retains many historic cultural landmarks. As a result, it has become a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from both within Japan and abroad.
