Japanese city where Aoi Matsuri is held (5)

I believe the answer is:

kyoto

(Other definitions for kyoto that I've seen before include "Japanese capital before 1868" , "Former Japanese capital city - Tokyo (anag)" , "nearby city" , "City of agreement on global warming" , "Tokyo (anag) - former capital of Japan" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
