'''Kyoto''' was the Imperial capital of Japan from [[794]] to [[1869]], though the archipelago was governed from elsewhere during the [[Kamakura shogunate|Kamakura]] (1185-1333) and [[Tokugawa shogunate]]s (1603-1868). It served as a major cultural and religious center throughout history, and continues to do so today, playing an important role economically as well during various periods.
