皆さん、こんにちは！京都へようこそ！Hi everybody, welcome to Kyouto! Hope you find a lot of money and souvenirs, and enjoy your stay! ^^ よろしくお願いします！

TY all for celebrating Kyouto's 1700th Anniversary! We have reached the 1750 year milestone, AND surpassed 1 million population - all thanks to you guys!!!

YAY I achieved 700+ connections :) Thank you to all the good mayors who connect with Kyouto and help us grow!

Thank you for the messages - sorry I don't come on here too much anymore. I do try to come here every once in awhile but I'm not on here every day, just kind of when I think to do it. So I understand completely if I get bumped off, haha! I'll shut off my wall for now until I am more regularly playing, so you understand. Thank you to all the kind mayors and connections that I have.

For non-connected cities, I try to manually return all favors, but CONNECTING IS BEST!

I figure I should provide some information about the beautiful city I named this after. So, I totally copied this from a website, but check this out:

Kinkaku-ji Temple
Kinkaku-ji, the famed “Golden Pavilion,” is Kyoto’s most iconic sight, rising above its reflecting pond like an apparition.

Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine
Perhaps the single most impressive sight in all of Kyoto, bar none, Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine is the most important shrine in the entire city. Don’t miss it!

Ginkaku-ji Temple
Ginkaku-ji temple, the “Silver Pavilion”, has magnificient halls and gardens, with a tremendous viewpoint over the entire temple compound.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Kyoto’s top sights and for good reason: standing amid these soaring stalks of bamboo is like being in another world.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of Kyoto’s must-see attractions. It’s a bustling riot of commerce and schlock, but it’s a lot of fun, especially for the kids.

Nanzen-ji Temple
One of the best temples in the Northern Higashiyama district, Nanzen-ji Temple is a sprawling Zen paradise surrounded by lush green hills.

Tenryu-ji Temple
Tenryu-ji Temple is the headline attraction in Arashiyama, a Zen temple with one of the finest gardens in Kyoto and wonderful mountain views.

I've been fortunate enough to see most of these places, and many others during my travels to Japan.
