Kyotanabe, Urban center in southern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Kyōtanabe extends along the Kizugawa River on its eastern border, with the Ikoma Mountains forming natural boundaries to the west of the city.

The area served as Japan's temporary capital during Emperor Keitai's reign and transformed from a village in 1889 to an official city in 1997.

Nine elementary schools, three junior high schools, and Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts contribute to the educational landscape of the city.

The city connects to major urban centers through the JR West Katamachi Line, Kintetsu Railway Kyoto Line, and National Routes 1, 24, and 307.

The Ōsumi Kurumazuka Kofun, designated as a National Historic Site, represents archaeological heritage within the city limits.
