Application in advance is highly recommended. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This beautiful home belonged to members of the Katsura family, one of the Imperial families of Japan. The home displays some very traditional Japanese architecture and landscape design.

Lovely garden; recommend taking the English language tour(there are several every day) and also recommend applying on line before visiting to make sure you get a place on the tour. Tour was informative, and the gardens are beautiful. Took city bus from Kyoto station, which supplied good information regarding the proper bus stop to exit. And the villa is a short walk from the bus stop.

Once again a magnificent garden surrounds the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately we did not check in advance to see the procedure required to take a tour of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and we were not able to view the palace grounds. Fortunately, the surrounding gardens were opened to the general public. As always, the imperial garden is an expansive garden space with attractive walkways, special shrines located away from main traffic areas and offers a quiet respite for prayers or private contemplation. It is beautiful in late autumn and the deciduous trees are at its best displaying their fall colors. Beautiful walks by the lake and small bridges to cross over. Such a wonderful reprieve from the major city area, just a lazy afternoon observing nature, couples and young children at play.

We felt like getting out and about and go for a bit of a hike out of Kyoto. We followed some advice to head out to Kifune and take the short hike through the magnificent woods over to Kurama. We were not disappointed!

Anytime is a good time to stroll this area. I found that for myself, this area becomes more enchanting when the sun is setting and the lanterns are lit and you can gaze inside the teahouse/bar establishment.. A truly unique and engaging experience especially if it is not too crowded. The canal waterway adds to the romance of this walk, very much a captivating moment. A very pleasant stroll.
