Geppa-ro: Shokin-tei View - a photo on Flickriver

            A view of the Shokin-tei across the pond and garden from this opening in the Geppa-ro.

Katsura Rikyu, located along the Katsura-gawa, is one of three imperial villas in Kyoto along with Sento Gosho and Shugakuin. This 56,000 square meter complex was completed around 1658. Designed by Prince Toshihito of the Hachijonomiya family, and heavily influenced by Kobori Enshu, the layout and gardens of Katsura Rikyu are widely regarded as some of the finest examples of architecture and garden in Japan. A tour of the garden reveals the subtle details and thought that went into every aspect of this beautiful villa.
