Kyoto

Kyoto is a location in LSD: Dream Emulator. It is an area that resembles, and is likely based on, the real city of Kyoto in Honshu, Japan. Kyoto is a large, traditional Japanese city which contains many houses, statues and torii, as well as an entrance to the Temple Dojo. On the opposite end of Kyoto to the temple is a gateway to the Natural World. Monument Park resides within Kyoto, only accessible through a tunnel. The wall inside of the tower within Kyoto links to the bottom of Moonlight Tower.

Also within Kyoto is a rocky Zen Garden with black-and-white patterns on the floor, as well as small, fenced-in areas. These have four entryways and house various different objects in them, such as the shrine bell and the hand statue, as well as other statues of a head and foot. They are believed to be Buddha's.

Kyoto is one of the main locations displayed on the map.

Interacting with the old woman found either in one of the houses or on the scaffolding next to the river can sometimes cause everything in Kyoto to stretch upwards. This is the only way to link to Moonlight Tower other than the bunny.
