Historical Background
The Kyōto Imperial Palace was first built in 794 after the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyō (平安京, lit. "peaceful/tranquil capital"), one of several former names for the city known as Kyōto.

Grounds
Today, the Kyōto Imperial Palace resides in the middle of Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, sitting adjacent to the Kyōto Sento Imperial Palace, several shrine gates, and former places of residence.
