Kyoto Gyoen National Garden

Kyoto Gyoen surrounds the Imperial Palace with broad gravel avenues, groves and traces of the former court-noble district. Historic gates and residence sites give the open landscape a history that extends beyond the palace walls. Use the garden for an unhurried walk, arranging access to the imperial compounds separately if they are part of your plans.

Shinagawa Aquarium

Shinagawa Aquarium sits within Shinagawa Kumin Park in Katsushima, with a tunnel tank and exhibits connected to marine and coastal life. The park setting gives the visit an outdoor counterpart before or after the galleries.

Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park

Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park retains the landscape legacy of Osaka's 1990 garden exposition in broad grounds of ponds, lawns and garden areas. The windmill provides a recognizable landmark, while surviving and renewed landscapes show how the expo site evolved into a public park.
