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.
