★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommend the tour goes by quickly you'd forget it's 80 minutes. I recommend 3 p.m. you'll get close to sunset in the winter.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nestled in the foothills of Mt Hiei in NE Kyoto is the Shugakuin Imperial Villa, for which visitors with foreign passports or Residence Cards in Japan can make a reservation on a day's notice at the Imperial Household Agency in Kyoto. It's well worth the effort as the gardens & grounds are exquisite. Wear comfortable walking shoes, though, for the 2km guided walking tour!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very much worth it and Free, BUT: it can only be visited with a tour. Tours in the morning NEED to be reserved, tours in the afternoon can be joined on the spot. Only 2 afternoon tours available, so check out their schedule online!! Gardens are splendid, and the villas and history totally worth your time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is beautiful! The audio tour is useful, but very soft. I recommend covering you other ear if you can't hear over the tour guide. The place take a while to get from Kyoto Station but it's worth the visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A large imperial property in North Eastern Kyoto. Beautiful landscaping and great colours in fall/winter. A good view of the city from the upper villa. Visited twice, once years ago and just this month. Advanced booking three months in advance is recommended. There is an English audio guide. Lockers and toilets in the briefing room before the tour starts.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best gardens I've visited in Japan! I've wanted to visit one of the imperial villas in Kyoto for some time but the online bookings are go very quickly. Thanks to another google reviewer pointing out that there are slots in the afternoon tours (1:30 and 3:00) are available on a first come first served bases I was able to visit.
The tour is in Japanese, but you can borrow an earphone guide for free in several languages and lasts about 1 hour 20 minutes. In order to apply for the tour you'll need your passport or a residency card.
You visit 3 different areas on the tour with the final area a spectacular walk around a lake.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gardens: it is really nice place! If you are photographer, you really have to visit this place. There are nice views (they guarantee that this view is the same as it was in 17th century!), nice ponds, moss gardens and ancient buildings where emperor lived.
Guide: guide speaks only Japanese but you can get an audio guide for free in English (Chinese, Spanish or French too).
Location: there is no easy to get there. You can use local train (nearest station is 20 minutes, but these trains are not included in JR rail pass). You can use Metro, but it is quite far away (40 minutes)
Entrance: it is free! But there is strictly limited capacity (check it on their website). You will need your passport when you want to visit these gardens.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good quality garden which is also an imperial villa. Entrance is free but you need to book on advance but some day passes are available. Need I'd such as passport or arc. Looks best not in early winter. Group tour is on Japanese with English audio guide
