Kyoto was the capitol city of Japan before Edo (Tokyo) became the capitol 150 years ago.

What is a "feudal era type of thinking"? In many ways these were violent and brutal times. I think you are transposing a storybook image of the honorable samurai to the way the modern Kyoto-ite thinks and acts.

Kyoto is a city with a lot of history and a lot of historically significant sites, but it is also a very modern city what is certainly the most interesting train station in the country.
