This place has a huge public park area fit for relaxing , playing around and picnics. The Gyoen government official guesthouse is located inside too. We toured the facility which is a famous place that accommodates all the foreign and local dignitaries that visit Kyoto. The royal family also frequently stays in this guesthouse. The security level is so high and strict that not all rooms can be photographed or videos taken. The interior of every room and hallways are simple and minimalist but there are some intricate details included. This facility also has the most amazing Japanese garden and pond that I’ve ever seen. A true example of Japanese magnificence and creativity.
Kyoto National Garden is a stunning destination that combines history and nature in a truly remarkable way. As the former residence of the Japanese Emperor before the capital was moved to Tokyo, the Imperial Palace at the heart of the garden is rich in historical significance. The palace complex is massive, with numerous beautifully preserved buildings that give a glimpse into Japan’s imperial past. The surrounding gardens are serene, offering a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just looking for a tranquil place to relax, the Kyoto National Garden is an absolute must-see when in Kyoto.
Lovely garden for a leisurely stroll, easily accessible by subway. Offers a variety of scenic views. While some palaces within the garden close by 4 PM in December, the overall experience is still enjoyable.
