History
Kyōtanabe was briefly the capital of Japan during the reign of Emperor Keitai. The life of the Imperial court was centered at Tsutsuki Palace where the emperor lived in 511–518.[1]
The modern city was founded on April 1, 1997, after the town of Tanabe was reorganized into the city of Kyōtanabe. The Kyō- was added to distinguish it from the city of Tanabe, Wakayama.
