Home to the Japanese Imperial family till 1868, the Kyoto Imperial Palace is a place rich in tradition, preserving the look and ambience of the Palace of Japan's ancient imperial dynasties. The current palace dates from 1854, after earlier constructions were destroyed by numerous fires. The palace complex is surrounded by a long wall with several gates, halls and gardens. The several structures such as the Shisinden, the Seiryoden, the Kogosyo, the Ogakumonjyo, and the Otsunegoten, serve as good reflections of the architectural styles of various periods. Interested visitors will have to make advanced reservations with the Imperial Household Agency that controls entry to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
This place is also known as 京都御苑.
