The town names in Kyoto City are categorized into ones which use the former village name or former Oaza (larger section of village) such as 'Ohara Raikoin-cho' (in this case, 'Ohara') and ones which uses an independent name such as 'Kameya-cho' and 'Kikuya-cho.'
京都市内の町名には「大原来迎院町」のように旧村名、旧大字名に由来する地名（上記例の場合は「大原」）を冠称するものと、「亀屋町」「菊屋町」のような単独町名とがある。
