Snow falling in Kyoto city is a rare occurrence, a precious image that occurs only a few times a year, every year. As you can see, many parts of Kyoto remain as they were in the past, so the streets are still narrow in many places. It is said that it was 794 A.D. when the emperor moved the capital to Kyoto and built the capital”HEIAN-Kyo"(the capital of named PEACE), so the city has existed here for about 1,230 years until now, and people back then saw this scenery in the winter season just as you do now.
