The Emperor's residence and the site of the noble town [Kyoto Gyoen National Garden]
From the Heian period (794-1185) to the Meiji period (1868-1912), the Kyoto Imperial Palace was the residence of the emperor, and was surrounded by the residences of the imperial family and noble families. After the Meiji Restoration, the area fell into disrepair when the capital was moved to Tokyo, but a preservation project was launched and the area was reborn as a national park with trees planted. About 50,000 trees grow on the vast 65-hectare site.
