🇯🇵 Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is a major city of Japan. Real-Earth coordinates 35.032°, 135.748°, population 1,805,000. A river or a coast to follow, tall enough buildings to make a proximity line interesting, and open airspace once you clear the centre. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.

What you can do here

• Fly Kyoto in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 35.032°, 135.748° — keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, or a real RC transmitter over USB.
• Check the weather first: live wind, gusts and cloud over the city, plus the month-by-month flyable-days table above.
• Watch real traffic — aircraft overhead and ships on the water come from live ADS-B and AIS feeds, not from a script.
• Meet other pilots in the same sky: city chat room, radio, and the walkie-talkie frequency for Kyoto.
