The Kyoto Imperial Palace opened to the public for its annual spring showing. The palace was the official residence of emperors for more than 500 years until the late 19th century.
People were invited to enter through one of the main gates. Once inside the palace, visitors can see a display of dolls in the living quarters of former emperors.
