Walk through Kyoto places connected by the idea of the Heian imperial capital, beginning at Heian-jingū Shrine and its garden. Notice how the shrine, garden, and Grand Torii create a ceremonial opening before the route reaches the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Continue through Kyoto Gyoen National Garden to the Kyoto Sento Imperial Palace, where imperial spaces and garden settings bring the theme into focus. This is an easy walk for seeing how worship, formal grounds, and palace spaces shape the story of Kyoto’s imperial capital.
