    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.
