JAPAN, Kyoto - Imperial Palace


Kyoto's Imperial Palace was home to
the Imperial Family up until the year 1868
when their residence was moved to Tokyo.




We arrived at the entrance around 4p.m.
only to find it had closed at 2.


We were disappointed to have missed 
seeing inside the gates.
However, looking back, if we would
have spent the afternoon there,
we would have missed seeing the Nijo Castle.
A real TREASURE in Japanese history and culture.
