Imperial Palace (Katsura Rikyu, Kyoto Gosho, SyugakuinRikyu)
When you visit Kyoto, a visit to some of the gardens of Imperial Palace ( Katsura Rikyu,
Kyoto Gosho, SyugakuinRikyu ) would be a high light of your visit. It is under the control
of the Household of Japanese Emperor and it is NOT a tourist spot. You need to apply for
a permission. Naturally there are many restrictions.
Easiest way to place a reservation is through a Web pag and follow their instructions
carefully. Your visit will be worth the pain of required process. A bit more kind tourist
guide on this matter can be found at:
