Explore Shūgaku-in Rikyū: Kyoto's Imperial Retreat Garden

Shūgaku-in Rikyū is a rare gem among Kyoto’s imperial gardens, featuring three distinct gardens, each with its own character. Built by Emperor Gomizuno-o in the 17th century, this private retreat at the foot of the Higashiyama mountains beautifully incorporates the principle of Shakkei (borrowed landscape). The gardens, connected by winding gravel paths, offer peaceful views of vegetable patches, rice fields, and stunning seasonal changes, particularly the vibrant autumn colors in the upper garden.
