Moreover, except for urban areas such as Rakuchu or the recently developed areas, many of the town names in Kyoto City come from the old town/village names, such as Oaza and Koaza before the merger into the city (e.g., formerly Aza Kaijiri, Matsugasaki village for current Kaijiri-cho, Matsugasaki, Sakyo Ward).
また、洛中と言った都心部や近年になって開発された地域など一部を除いて、市内の地名の多くは京都市への合併前の旧町村名や大字・小字をそのまま町名にしている（例：旧松ヶ崎村字海尻→左京区松ヶ崎海尻町）。
