📍 Kankiji-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City 🌆 In 1995, the Japanese-style Suzaku-no-niwa Garden opened in Umekoji Park near Kyoto Station (and currently adjacent to Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station). It was created to commemorate the 1,200-year anniversary of the relocation of the capital of Japan in 794. "Suzaku" originally referred to the imaginary Vermilion Bird, a guardian of the South, but the garden was named after the main avenue in the old capital, Heian-kyo (original Kyoto).
