Kyoto Map Art Prints
Kyoto's grid runs perfectly north-south and east-west, laid out in the 8th century and still visible in its numbered streets—Ichijo through Kujo running east-west, Horikawa through Senbon running north-south. The Kamo River bisects the city from north to south, with temples and shrines clustering along its banks and in the eastern Higashiyama hills. Three concentric ward boundaries radiate outward from the original Imperial Palace site, defining neighborhoods that have held their names and character for over 1,200 years.
