The Town Names of Kyoto City are categorized into those using their former village names or former Oaza (large section of village) such as 'Ohara Raikoin-Cho' (in this case, 'Ohara' is former name) and those using an independent name of a town such as 'Kameya-Cho' and 'Kikuya-Cho'. |
京都市内の町名には「大原来迎院町」のように旧村名、旧大字名に由来する地名(上記例の場合は「大原」)を冠称するものと、「亀屋町」「菊屋町」のような単独町名とがある。 |
