Kyoto (Japanese: ???; Ky?to-shi) is a city in Japan that has a population of 1.5 million and time zone of UTC + 9 hours. Formerly the imperial capital of Japan, it is now the capital of Kyoto Prefecture, as well as a major city of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan area. An obsolete spelling for the city's name is Kioto; it was formerly known to the West as Meaco (Japanese: ?; miyako "capital"). Most English speakers pronounce Kyoto using three sounds as key-oh-toe; however, the Japanese pronunciation is: kyoh and to.
