Kyoto Prefecture is a prefecture of Japan located in the Kinki region of the island of Honshû. The capital is the city of Kyoto.

Kyoto Prefecture is located almost in the center of Honshû and of Japan. It covers an area of 4612.71 km², which is 1.2% of Japan. Kyoto is 31st by size. To the north, it faces the Sea of Japan and Fukui Prefecture. To the south, it faces Osaka and Nara Prefectures. To the east, it faces Mie and Shiga Prefectures. To the west, it faces Hyogo Prefecture. The prefecture is separated in the middle by the Tanba Mountains. This makes its climate very different in the north and south.
