Shishinden Hall, Kyoto Imperial Palace

The Shishinden Hall is the most important building on the palace grounds and was used for important ceremonies such as the accession ceremonies. Inside are the imperial throne for the emperor and the empress. The one for the emperor is called "Takamikura" and the one for the empress is called "Michodai".The hall is not accessible and can only be viewed from the outside.

Very nice place, you should definitely see it.

One of the most prestigious buildings in the Imperial Palace is the Shishinden (State Ceremonial Hall). This building was built in the style of the Heian period (794-1185) to be able to hold the enthronement ceremony in the traditional style. The enthronement ceremony of Emperors Meiji, Taisho and Showa took place in the current hall and the two thrones used during the ceremony are housed inside.
