Kyoto Walking Tours
If you're in Kyoto, make sure to check out the gardens
In Central Kyoto there is the old Imperial Palace which was the Emperor’s residence before the capitol was moved to Tokyo, and the Nijo Castle, which was the castle of the Shogun. The old Imperial Palace includes many interesting old buildings and several gardens on 27 acres. The Kyoto Imperial Palace clearly shows the Japanese taste for simple decor at the residence of the Imperial family until the capital was relocated to Tokyo in 1868. The Nijo Castle is a huge area complete with stone walls, and gardens, and was the castle of the Tokugawa shogun.
