    Hopefully it helps in your studies. ✌️ 京 is present in both names, means capital.

    京都 (Kyoto) Capital city

    東京 (Tokyo) East Capital

        Really? The first Kanji lessons in my Duolingo are 1 2 3. The second is a few simple Kanji for names.

        Tokyo and Kyoto don’t show up til the third for me.

          They’ve updated the course a lot since I did my first lesson when they released.

          They’re memorable for me because I turn off the english pronunciation… so To + Kyo & Kyo + To were the first kanji that I actually learned to read without inferring contextually.
