More information:

Oikeniwa Garden Kyoto Gyoen - Kyoto Imperial Palace was a palace where successive emperors lived and conducted their political affairs for over 500 years from the Nanbokucho period to the beginning of the Meiji period. It is currently open to the public as a facility managed by the Imperial Household Agency. Oikeniwa Garden was used as a place to meet shoguns and feudal lords during the Edo period, and the pond strolling style that can be seen. The garden began in the early Edo period, with a sand beach in front of the building, creating the atmosphere of a Japanese dynastic garden as well as multiple stone bridges. This garden has the scale of a feudal lord garden from the Edo period.
