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.
