KYOTO IMPERIAL PALACE & IMPERIAL PALACE PARK
The Kyoto Imperial Palace and its park is the heart of Kyoto, both spatially and metaphorically. It occupies a huge
expanse of Central Kyoto - a green haven amid a sea of concrete. The palace recalls the city's proud heritage as
the capital of the country and seat of the imperial court for over 1000 years. While the palace itself is grand and
steeped in history, for many visitors, the surrounding Imperial Palace Park is the real draw. Here, you can stroll
for hours on wide pedestrian avenues or narrow paths through the forest.
