Living in Kyoto can at times feel like a bit of a time warp. One block your in a major metropolitan and the next you are biking through the gardens of an ancient palace. After a while this sadly becomes commonplace and not so exciting. It was nice though at the end of October and into early November, the Imperial Palace is open to the public without prior approval. Normally, you have to pre-apply to enter the palace grounds. On these special days, the palace is a buzz with the hum of tour buses and foreigners. If you can stomach the crowds, it's well worth the time!
Here are a few shots of the palace!
