"I thought Sakai was big! This is... too big."
―Fujibayashi Naoe upon her first arrival to Kyoto, 1582.[src]

Kyoto (京都), originally called Heian-kyō (平安京), is a major city in Japan, serving as the capital of Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai region. The city is known for having served as Japan's imperial capital for centuries since the Heian period. It was originally modelled after the Tang capital of Chang'an in China,[1] and served as the seat of power for the Ashikaga shogunate from 1333 until 1573.[2]

During the Sengoku period, Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu kept an eye on Christian missionaries from Kyoto and reported any Templar activities to Tokugawa Ieyasu, a daimyō aligned with the Assassins.[3] In 1582, the city served as the site of the Honnō-ji incident, in which Oda Nobunaga, the most powerful daimyō in Japan at the time, was betrayed and attacked by his general Akechi Mitsuhide while visiting Kyoto's Honnō-ji temple, forcing Nobunaga to commit seppuku.[4]

With the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, Kyoto's prominence was superseded by that of the shogunate's capital, Edo. After the Imperial Court won the Boshin War in 1869, they relocated to Edo, rechristening it as Tokyo and making it the new national capital.[5]
