Kyoto City maintains its legacy, as can be seen in traditional handicraft; furthermore, with industry-leading companies such as Nintendo and Wacoal Holdings Corporation, along with high-tech companies such as Kyocera Corporation and Shimadzu Corporation, which are headquartered in the city, Kyoto is becoming one of the areas capable of sustaining current industries.
その伝統は現在も伝統工芸として残るのみならず、京セラや島津製作所など先端技術を持つ企業を初め、任天堂やワコールなど業界トップクラスの本社が集まるなど、現代産業を支えている地域の一つである。
