| Comments: | I discussed this with a Kansai native. I don't think "metropolis" is really right. I've also never heard Tokyo referred to as "み やこ". If you google "東京はみやこ" the top hits are things like "東京はみやこじゃない", "しかし東京は「みやこ」のような気がしない、 い まだ「京都」がみやこのような気がするが", "東京は「みやこ」ではない 京都は固有名詞上の「みやこ」である". There's also a lot of companies/places called "Miyako" something something in Kyoto, 都タクシー、the みやこめっせ conference hall, etc. I think "Kyoto" could also be a separate sense. |

| Comments: | My understanding is that "Miyako" practically always refers to Kyoto. |
