Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kyoto camera live?
Yes. It streams the Kyoto cityscape continuously.
What can you see on this camera?
The city and the hills around it, weather moving through, and the seasonal colour and the light at either end of the day.
Does it show a particular temple or shrine?
No. The operator does not name any single landmark as its subject; the framing is a wide view across the city.
Why are there so few tall buildings in Kyoto?
Local ordinances restrict both height and colour. Together with the basin setting, hemmed in by hills on three sides, that keeps the skyline low and even.
