KYOTO, Aug 01 (News On Japan) –
The Honmaru-goten Palace of Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage website in Kyoto, has accomplished its restoration work and will likely be open to the general public for the primary time in 18 years from September 1.
Originally accomplished in the course of the Edo interval, the Honmaru Goten was utterly destroyed by a terrific fireplace in 1788. The present construction was relocated from the previous Katsura Palace on the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the course of the Meiji period. It is the biggest surviving palace of its sort and has been designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Preservation and restore work was undertaken attributable to structural distortions brought on by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and the restoration was accomplished in March 2024. As a consequence, the palace will likely be open to the general public for the primary time in 18 years.
Kyoto Mayor Koji Matsui commented, “We strive to preserve, develop, and foster this precious cultural property so it may be cherished by both domestic and international tourists, and most importantly, the citizens of Kyoto.”
The common public can go to the Honmaru Goten beginning September 1. Viewing is by advance reservation solely, with tickets out there completely on-line from August 1.
