Top 100 Historic Sites of Kamigyo Ward上京区の史蹟百選
About this collection
The "Top 100 Historic Sites of Kamigyo Ward" was compiled into a website from a booklet of the same name published in 1998 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Kyoto City's autonomy. Kamigyo Ward, which celebrated its 120th anniversary in 1999 and is one of the oldest wards along with Shimogyo Ward among the city's 11 wards, created this selection.
Kamigyo Ward is home to numerous nationally significant cultural properties including the Kyoto Imperial Palace and various shrines and temples. It is also known for its abundance of historically valuable notable and giant trees. The "Top 100 Historic Sites of Kamigyo Ward" divides the area into six zones: Area A (east of Karasuma Street), Area B (inside Kyoto Gyoen Park), Area C (west of Karasuma Street and north of Imadegawa Street), Area D (south of Imadegawa Street between Horikawa and Karasuma Streets), Area E (south of Imadegawa Street between Senbon and Horikawa Streets), and Area F (west of Senbon Street), selecting a total of 100 historic sites.
Included among these are many "Pride Trees," which are trees that the community wishes to pass on to future generations as symbols of local pride. These were selected by a committee composed of experts and citizens. The selection encompasses not only historic sites but also familiar natural elements, contributing to Kyoto's "green culture."
