The air of Kyoto is felt also for little language value.

Although it tends to be thought with considering the Kyoto valve by big frame called Kansai dialect that it is the same as the Osaka valve, the environment into which language grew up is different. To the ability of the Osaka valve to be heart strongly, the Kyoto valve can be heard so that idly to be round. It is said to Osaka which was a merchant's town that it became a soft tone decently because it is polite since Kyoto was Imperial Court society. Once, although capital language was the words of the general public of Kyoto, though regrettable, it is only generations' thing Gion, Ponto-cho, and a top red-light districts, such as seven etc. houses, and prewar days now.
