THE KYOTO IMPERIAL PALACE

                          

                                        THE KYOTO IMPERIAL                                                PALACE

This is the Kyoto Gosho, meaning the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Kyoto has thousands of historic sites visit but to mention just a few others are; the Old Kyoto city itself, the Tenryuji Temple, and the Heian Palace next to the Heian Shrine.

There are many fun activities to enjoy in Kyoto. The Rickshaw ride in Kyoto enables visitors to travel to various ancient sites that reveal the traditional Japanese culture in just one ride.

The Kyōto Imperial Palace (京都御所, Kyōto-gosho) is the former ruling palace of the Emperor of Japan. Since the Meiji Restoration in 1869, the Emperors have resided at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, while the preservation of the Kyoto Imperial Palace was ordered in 1877.

Today, the grounds are open to the public, and the Imperial Household Agency hosts public tours of the buildings several times a day.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace is the latest of the imperial palaces built at or near its site in the northeastern part of the old capital of Heian-kyō (now known as Kyoto) after the abandonment of the larger original Heian Palace that was located to the west of the current palace during the Heian period. The Palace lost much of its function at the time of the Meiji Restoration, when the capital functions were moved to Tokyo in 1869. However, Emperor Taishō[2] and Shōwa[3] still had their enthronement ceremonies at the palace.
