Kyoto or Tokyo?

Q: What is difference in meaning between Tokyo & Kyoto?  Are they both Eastern Capital? – Cameron

A: Good question!  They look the same, but it’s actually a trap of the Romanisation.  Tokyo actually has an extra “o” sound on the end.  So Tokyo means 東京 East + Capital.  But Kyoto is 京都 which is capital +  city ( or metropolis.)
