Kyoto Prefecture

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kyōto Prefecture (京都府; Kyōto-fu) is part of the Kinki region on Honshu island, Japan. The capital is the city of Kyoto. The existence of the city of Kyoto is so important and dominant that "Kyoto" is almost never used to mean the Kyoto Prefecture. Likewise, the area outside the boundary of Kyoto city is rarely considered the part of Kyoto Prefecture except by those who live there.
