Kyoto Imperial Palace

In early spring, when it is still cold, the plum grove in Kyoto Gyoen National Garden is bursting with red, white, and pink flowers.
There are about 200 plum trees in the plum grove on the southwest side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Most of them were grafted from plums donated by shrines around Kyoto in the 1950s.
You can also see the Tsukiji wall that surrounds the Kyoto Imperial Palace to the side, and to the east you can see Mount Daimonji, where the Daimonji bonfires are held every summer.
This Tsukiji wall has white lines called "sujibei" drawn on it, and is only used in facilities related to the Imperial family, such as Imperial Palaces and Monzeki temples, and there are apparently three to five lines depending on the level of the wall.
In the case of the Imperial Palace, five lines of the highest rank can be seen.
The Imperial Palace is so vast that it is never crowded, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely stroll with a Japanese umbrella.
