Kyoto — Custom Map Art
Cradled in a lush valley by surrounding mountain ranges, the legendary street plan is dictated by a pristine, incredibly precise grid originally laid out in 794 AD based on ancient Chinese geomancy. The Kamo River flows gently southward, naturally dividing the geisha districts of Gion from the modern commercial center.
