[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Shugakuin Imperial Villa (Updated Jun)

#aprilblooms I spent a quiet spring holiday in Kyoto, and even though the weather wasn’t ideal, there’s something truly special about the rain-soaked gardens of Shugakuin Imperial Villa. The lush greenery and delicate flowers looked even more vivid under the soft drizzle. The view from Rinkuntei (隣雲亭) remains one of my favorite scenes in all of Kyoto — peaceful, expansive, and so classically Japanese. It’s a spot that feels a little hidden away from the usual tourist path, perfect for a slow and mindful walk. Why You Should Visit: ✔ Rain brings out the beauty of the gardens and landscape ✔ Breathtaking view from Rinkuntei, especially in spring 📍Address: Shugakuin Yabusoe, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 606-8052 #Kyoto #Japan #ShugakuinImperialVilla #SpringInJapan

A bit of a 'hidden gem' in Kyoto that many people often miss out. It can be difficult to get tickets since you need to book online and it seems to be a lottery system, but if you can get tickets it's well worth a visit. The star of the show is the gardens though, which were much bigger than I expected and very pretty The walk is great and the scenery -breathtakingly beautiful. The red leaves have just started a little now, so by November must be amazing. The visit is free and guided #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#langkawi#foodphotography#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#edinburgh#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด

#japantrip One of the best gardens I've visited in Japan! I've wanted to visit one of the imperial villas in Kyoto for some time but the online bookings are go very quickly. So book advanced. A large imperial property in North Eastern Kyoto. Beautiful landscaping and great colours in fall/winter. A good view of the city from the upper villa. Visited twice, once years ago and just this month. Advanced booking three months in advance is recommended. There is an English audio guide. Lockers and toilets in the briefing room before the tour starts.

No matter what the festival, no one will be in the crowd. This is the property of a hundred-year-old royal family covering an area of 455,000 square meters. I am lucky enough to visit here, or free, there is a Chinese explanation machine, there are commentators, not because I have any special status, just because I did my homework before I travel, I can advance in the official website. Make a reservation for one month, or get a ticket at the scene in advance. that is it. There are many famous attractions in Kyoto, all of which are filled with people and the experience is greatly reduced. It can be said that it is a good place to let your body and mind indulge in deep breathing! Because it is a royal property, you cant leave without permission. The whole tour is an hour and a half, up and down in such a vast and beautiful royal courtyard. There are lakes and terraces. There are various hundred years of trees. Holidays are so precious, you may wish to do your homework before you travel, to make your trip more full and more rewarding!

Royal gardens, colleges from the palace last autumn went to the secondary school to leave the palace, the fall of the college is really beautiful from the palace, because there are many maple leaves in the palace, so it was very shocking, it really is the royal garden is extraordinary. This spring cherry blossom season has once again been a college to leave the palace, although the redness of the Maple Leaf period, but more green and refreshing and quiet. Yu Xiu College is the largest garden complex in Japan. It is one of the three largest royal gardens in Japan. The park is divided into upper, middle and lower palaces, and it is natural and natural. All visits to the college to go to the palace must be booked online in advance, especially in the spring and autumn, because there are many people to visit, there will be a lottery after the application, I am lucky, apply In the middle, the friend applied for two times and I applied for a national time for him. Finally, he personally flew to the office to make an appointment. If you really can't get it, there is still a way to go to the firm to make an appointment in advance, and you won't be able to get it. The appointment with the mail on the day will be fine, and you need to bring your passport to verify your identity. The whole group is about 59 people. There will be a commentator at the beginning to lead the way. Finally, there will be royal guards to follow, and to drive away the backwards at any time~ If you go too slowly, you really have to be trained! will visit the next palace, the middle palace and the upper palace, because the middle palace is the residence of the princess. In fact, it is not a separate palace from the palace. After the visit, the palace will turn back and go to the palace. In the middle of the palace, the scenery and the size of the tea house are far less than the palace, and even some dark feelings. The biggest attraction is the upper palace, which is at the highest point. The pool in Figure 3 is called the Dragon Pool. The three lanes in the pool: Nakajima, Sanbao Island, and Wansongwu form a pattern of three mountains. The whole form is a combination of a boat tour and a returning tour. There are not many cherry trees, so 2 or 3 trees are planted. When we went, only two were in full bloom. The highest point of the is the adjacent Yunting Pavilion. The pavilion is a tea room. The hedges on the hillside have been carefully trimmed by the gardener. The layers are above and the details of the royal garden are different. When standing on the hillside overlooking the bathing dragon pool, the heart is ideal. After the year, the emperor will make poems on the water tail. The leisurely scenery is just like this! Where the ancient civilians can't go anywhere, we can stand in the same place as the Emperor and enjoy the stunning scenery. Modern people are lucky.

The Academy is the largest garden complex in Japan and one of the three largest royal gardens in Japan. The palace is built in the mountain of Birui. The garden covers an area of about 26,500 square meters, and the mountain forest is about 156,400 square meters. It is divided into three villages: upper, middle and lower. It is a representative landscape of Japan with its view of the school, a wide garden and a beautiful atmosphere. The college needs to make an appointment in advance to go to the palace. It is a coincidence that this trip can be made in the Maple Leaf season. I went to Chishan Temple in the early morning and turned around. I thought about taking a chance to go to the college to see the palace. It was almost 10 o'clock at the door. The staff said that there was a last visit at 1:30 pm, so I didn't hesitate. Lined up in the team, I was fortunate enough to wait for an hour to get the appointment card at 1:30. If you make an online reservation in advance, you can make an appointment at all times. If you want to try your luck, you can make an appointment at 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm (35 places per game). They are all led by the professional team leader. The whole process is 80 minutes. The team is followed by the royal guards, so they can't leave the team and make any special moves. Address: Get off at Ruishan Electric School Station. 20 minutes Website reservation: https
