Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Kyoto Mayor Daisaku Kadokawa here Sunday.
According to the external affairs ministry spokesman, the mayor briefed Modi -- on a five-day visit to Japan -- about "green, smart and modern yet historic Kyoto".
Home to about 1.5 million people, Kyoto is a former capital of imperial Japan. According to its mayor, it is a "model, modern city of citizen autonomy".
Modi arrived here Saturday. He will later go to Tokyo.
