Old capital of Japan (5)

I believe the answer is:

kyoto

(Other definitions for kyoto that I've seen before include "Tokyo (anag) - former capital of Japan" , "Japanese capital before 1868" , "Japanese city of treaty on climate change" , "Old Japanese capital" , "nearby city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
