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

      京都 (Kyoto) Capital city

      東京 (Tokyo) East Capital

        To add to the confusion though, Tokyo City is also written as 東京都, for example in addresses

          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.

      I have tried Doulingo for Japanese for a short time, after already knowing a bit of beginner’s Japanese. I cannot speak for all languages offered by Doulingo, but if you are trying to learn Japanese, stay away from Doulingo. Its lessons sometimes teach you things that are objectively wrong.
