The Kamo River and cherry blossoms The Kamo River (Japanese:Kamo-gawa) is a river in Kyoto, Japan. It is 31 km long and is a tributary of the Yodo River.
It rises from Mount Sajikigatake in the north of Kyoto, and goes through the center of the city and then meets the Katsura River at Fushimi. The riverbanks are popular walks for residents and tourists. In summer, restaurants, open balconies looking out to the river. |
|
In Kyoto there are pathways on which one can walk along the river. Though the water level is usually relatively during the rainy season, these pathways sometimes flood in their lower stretches.
Demachiyanagi in northern Kyoto where the Kamo River joins the Takano River (Takano-gawa) is a popular spot for barbecues in the summer. |

Kyōto Gosho, Kyōto Gosho?), or The Kyoto Imperial Palace, is the Imperial Palace of Japan, though the Emperor of Japan is out. The Emperor has been staying at the Kōkyo in Tokyo since 1869 (Meiji Restoration), and ordered the preservation of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in 1877.Today the grounds are open to the public, and the Imperial Household Agency hosts public tours of the buildings several times a day.Kyōto Gosho is the latest of the Imperial palaces built at or near its site in the north-eastern part of the old capital on Heiankyo after the abandonment of the larger original Heian Palace, daidairi, that was located to the west of the current palace during the Heian Period. The Palace lost much of its function at the time of the Meiji Restoration, when the capital was moved to Tokyo in 1869. However, the Taisho and Showa Emperors still had their coronation ceremonies at Kyōto Gosho. |

Nijō-jō is located in Kyoto, Japan. The castle consists of two concentric rings of fortifications, the Ninomaru Palace, the ruins of the Honmaru Palace, various support buildings and several gardens. The surface area of the castle is 275,000 square meters, of which 8000 square meters is occupied by buildings.In 1601 Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of Tokugawa Shogunate ordered all the feudal lords in Western Japan to contribute to the construction of the Nijō Castle. The construction was completed during the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1626. It was built as the Kyoto residence of the Tokugawa Shoguns. The Tokugawa Shogunate used Edo as the capital city, but Kyoto continued to be the home of the Imperial Court (Kyoto Imperial Palace is located west of Nijo Castle).
The central keep or donjon was struck by lightning and burned to the ground in 1750.
In 1788 the Inner Palace was destroyed by a city-wide fire. The site remained empty until 1862.
In 1867 the Ninomaru Palace was the stage for the declaration by Tokugawa Yoshinobu, returning the authority to the Imperial Court. Next year the Imperial Cabinet was installed in the castle. In 1939 the palace was donated to the city of Kyoto and opened to the public the following year. |
