Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City, is located in the southwestern part of Kyoto City. In 1976, two wards were formed, separated into Sakyo Ward and Ukyo Ward, with the Katsura River as the dividing line. The ward is home to Kyoto's most famous river, the majestic Katsura River, and the Nishiyama mountain range, making it a town rich in nature. Recently, plans have been underway to urbanize the area around Katsura Station, resulting in a significant increase in residential areas. As a result, transportation options such as expressways and railways are well developed, so you will not find it inconvenient to live in the area. There are many historic temples within the ward, and even among the new townscape, you can still feel the old-fashioned charm, allowing you to experience the good old days firsthand.
