Kyoto State Guest House is a stunning place that showcases the essence of Japanese traditional beauty and craftsmanship. Although it’s primarily used to host state and official guests, it opens to the public on certain occasions, offering a rare opportunity to explore its grandeur. The architecture and gardens embody the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, with every detail carefully crafted to reflect elegance and simplicity. It’s a perfect blend of Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage and modern design. If you’re interested in Japanese culture and aesthetics, this is a must-visit destination

Exquisite and beautiful architecture. Japanese culture has always attracted me, so many commonsense designs and reasons for everything. I just love seeing the ancient with the new. The single-story residences would be very comfortable for the elderly or ill, probably no lifts in those days.

When I visited the imperial palace in Kyoto, I think I was 10 year-old and I don't remember most of it. I had visited Kyoto afterwards but there's no chance to visit the palace. On the other hand, I usually go up to the imperial palace for a running once I have a business trip to Tokyo. It's a shame that the most of the Edo castle was burned down by WW2. We can see its complete appearance in the photo book of old Tokyo. Tokugawa dynasty built their castle here in 1600s and they left this castle before Meiji period started. Thank you very much for sharing a great story.

However, the main castle keep, the symbol of Edo Castle, was destroyed in a fire in the 17th century. If there were no fire, I think it would look like today's Osaka Castle.

The difference between Japanese imperial homes and Shoguns, is that they do not fill the home with furniture like those in Europe.

Unlike the Brits and other Europeans, the Japanese appreciate their royal family and support them without reservation.

@danielles7766 Ай бұрын

That's because they really contribute to the people's development and made sure that their welfare system fair instead of taking things from their people

@SenatusEtPopulusA Ай бұрын

That is not true at all. Monarchism remains somewhat controversial in Japan with right-wing parties being more monarchist. Even Japan’s national anthem is controversial in Japanese politics for this reason.

@gabriellamar2683 Ай бұрын

@SenatusEtPopulusA There is no major push either from the public or Diet to abolish the Chrysanthemum throne. The reforms the Japanese want are for women to be allowed to ascend the throne and not lose their royal status when they marry commoners.

@pyrusheliosmk2204 Ай бұрын

So, they appreciate people just because they we're born in a certain family?

@SenatusEtPopulusA I don't think the Japanese right wing party wanting to bring back the kazoku system is actually them declaring themselves as monarchists

天皇は君主制とか王政とかそう言うものではないです。日本の為にお祈りをする祭司王ですね。日本は統治王より祭司王の方が位が上なんですよ。どこか1つ行きたい御所を選べと言われたら、やはり日本の古い歴史が感じられる京都御所ですね。

@shinra_saburo Ай бұрын

すみませんが、君主制ということには違いないと思います。世襲の国家元首ですから。

@hitachinokunigenji Ай бұрын

@ 君主制って王が支配しているという事だと思います。宗教と政治が一緒になると独裁になりますが日本は以前から天皇は政治を行なわず公家が行ったり武家が行っています。それが日本が長く続いている秘訣でもありますが。

i imagine royalty as not being "rich" in the usual way i imagine just having a huge bank account...isn'tit more like they live within an ongoing budget managed by others to fllfil a lot of functions and appearances. i'm sure they have input to make slight changes to suit their prefernces but nothing like going nuts with a hobby or throwing money around like a drunken sailor, or buying elections for social media 🙂 though royalty are probably accutely aware revoltution...

Japanese palace life tragically destroyed the mental health of two very intelligent and independently spirited women Empress Michiko and Empress Masako (the current empress and her mother-in-law). We've also seen quite a few princesses in the past two generations (especially now) say "no thank you" and renounce all royal titles and money, to leave the system and marry commoners. I love traditional Japanese art, architecture - so many things about Japanese culture. I hope to move to Japan some day. However, there is clearly something really wrong with court life for all of these women. Money and tradition aren't always a good thing.

@hori166 Ай бұрын

Everything is strictly and minutely controlled by the Imperial Household Agency. Japan is a land of rules, seen and unseen. Be careful what you wish for trying to come here to live, which is nearly impossible. There are illegal "aliens" here, and they literally "jumped ship" and overstayed their visas. BTW the same fate fell upon Diana, Wallis Simpson, Fergie, Meghan, etc.

The Akasaka Palace looks grand from the outside, but none of the rooms match the elegance and richness of Buckingham Palace. Japan was never able to amass the amount of wealth of the British Empire. The central staircase and banquet room are impressive, but that's about it. Notice that there's no furniture in it. It's not set up for anything. The halls are all very plain. A comparison of the enthronement of the emperor in its stark venue and that of Charles III illustrates this point even further. It's true, however, that the gardens are magnificent. If anything, it's a case of apples and oranges, or quinces and persimmons if you prefer... In October I went to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Now THAT's money and power! The library alone took my breath away. Unlike these Imperial properties, you are not allowed to visit or roam. Getting into the Imperial Villa in Kyoto for autumn leaves is literally a lottery, though foreigners have a slight edge over Japanese nationals. I suspect the entry postcards are sorted by Japanese character names and Romanized alphabet. The villa up in Nikko is easy to visit, but of course, you have to travel up to Nikko to do so.
