Strolling around Kyoto Imperial Palace

We went to Kyoto Imperial Palace Garden last Thursday on a training course.
We walked around the large garden, which is 1.3km from north to south and 0.7km from east to west.







This area was Court Nobles Residential Area in the Edo period.

After the capital was transferred to Tokyo,

buildings were removed and opened up to the public as a national garden.



This is the Kyoto Imperial Palace.







Today, there are famous historic spots in this garden including Kyoto Imperial Palace.



This is the Kanin-no-miya court noble.




Itsukusima-shrine






People can also spend their time in nature.

Now we can see few plum blossoms.

We will enjoy viewing plum blossoms, cherry blossoms and peach blossoms in spring.





This National garden is open to everyone anytime.


When you come to Kyoto, would you like to visit here?

You can enjoy Japanese nature and history a lot.

This morning, a yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover came to our ryokan. Most yasaka taxies are with a three-leaf clover. Taxies with a four-leaf clover are only 4 in Kyoto city.

Travel to another city

I went to small trip to FUKUI prefecture last weekend. for Fukui I leave Kyoto at 11am I arrive there about 2pm by car. I have never been there before this is my first time. I live in kyoto city so I do not have so many chance to watch sea so I really enjoy driving the sea front . Fukui is very famous for sea food and hot spring. The weather is very cold when I was there so hot spring was really nice to keep me warm after the hot spring I had seafood. on the way hope I still feel warm because of the hot spring . I could really enjoy and relax on this small trip. From Kyoto station to Fukui station is 1hour and half by Shinkansen.
