Had a very enjoyable afternoon. Guided tour was fantastic, with English and other languages available on the headsets. Plus it was free!

Perhaps it was my expectations gone haywire. I had always put Kyoto on my list because it was the ancient capital of Japan, the seat of high power of the emperor during the Edo period. In my mind, this would have been ground zero of the Empire and would be displayed in splendor. What greeted me instead was just a little underwhelming. Yet, a true unveiling of the true character of the empire. It was not opulent buildings that seek to impress me, like a European power would. But deep behind the veil of humble wooden structures holds a deep rooted system of rituals, traditions and culture that is unrequitedly rich.
Shodaibu-no-ma. When officials visit the Emperor, they are placed here. Which hall you ended up waiting would depend on your rank and status.
Shishinden, the Hall for State Ceremonies lies just beyond these red gate. This is the focal point of the Imperial Palace, akin to a throne room. This building has been used in recent history for the enthronement of Emperor Meiji, Taisho and Showa, the last of which happened in 1928 before the war.

Seiryoden, the hall of Rites and Rituals - The Seiryoden is the home of the emperor but has since been used mainly for traditional rituals related to imperial traditions and rules.
One thing that Kyoto have plenty of are gardens. The Oikeniwa Garden within the Kyoto Imperial Palace is beautifully landscaped. Simplicity at its core. “Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it”.

Great place to see cherry blossom, because wide variety of cherry blossom species, you see cherry blossom here from early April to late April. Very beautiful trimmed garden.

Best for walking and sightseeing. However, it would take more than four hours, if you want to explore the whole garden and imperial palace.
No admission fee.

Nice public garden in the heart of kyoto. It is a popular place for local people too. It is really pleasant to walk in this park and see people enjoying this slow life.
