The Kyoto Imperial Palace was the residence of the Emperor of Japan for most of Japan's history; from the middle of the Kamakura Period in 1227 until the beginning of the Meiji Period in 1869. It was built after the original Heian Palace was abandoned. Emperor Meiji ordered that the Kyoto Imperial Palace be preserved in 1877, and the grounds are open to the public. These grounds demonstrate the position and lifestyle of the Emperor during the era of the Shogunate.
