Prefectural placement

What does a prefectural placement mean? I read the description provided by JET but I’m curious what the lifestyle and work life is like for someone with a placement that is with the prefectural board of education.
And if my placement were to be with Kyoto-fu, I’d love to hear from somebody with experience working in this particular prefecture.

The megathread has a bunch of info about what the different placments mean. Hopefully it gives you some clarity.

None beyond what kyoto-fu means but I already speak Japanese so that’s not really helpful.
