The Former Residence of the Emperor: Kyoto Imperial Palace

The Kyoto Imperial Palace, once the residence of the Emperor, served as the home of the Japanese emperors for approximately 500 years, from the Nanboku-chō period to the Meiji era. Many of the existing structures were built in 1855 (Ansei 2).✨

In addition to historical buildings such as the Shishinden, Kogosho, and Gakumonjo, the palace also features a beautifully atmospheric garden, offering stunning seasonal scenery.

Given its vast size, it is recommended to plan your visit with ample time.✨
