My Kind of Kyoto, a website on Japan's most important historic city.
Honmaru-Goten and Honmaru Teien garden. Simply built Honmaru-Goten used
to be a house of Katsura-no-Miya family which was moved from Kyoto Gosho
and reconstructed here. The garden was laid out under strong influence
of the Western garden design by the order of Emperor Meiji in 1896.
