Kyoto is still one of Japan's leading tourist destinations. There are numerous temples, shrines and other historic buildings. Kyoto is also the birthplace of Japanese culture, and it is no exaggeration to say that the culture of Japan has been forged from the culture of Kyoto. Kyoto had served as the capital since Heian-Kyo and was also known as Kyo no Miyako. Either of the two Chinese characters that make up Kyoto means "Capital", and Tokyo garnered its name from its meaning, Eastern Capital.
