HINT1: I'm living in an ancient city in Japan, which was modeled on Changan.
It's a beautiful city with ancient wooden buildings.


HINT2:
Beijing (North Capital)
Nanjing (South Capital)
Tokyo (East Capital)
?? (Capital Capital)

Where am I living now?

capital capital gave it away. But, I have an advantage. I live in Japan and know a little kanji.

京 = capital
都 = capital
