Toin Teien (East Palace Garden)
An elegant garden located on the eastern overhang of the Heijo Palace ruins, which was known as ``Togu'' or ``Toin''. Centered around an L-shaped pond, it is thought to have served as a guesthouse for members of the imperial family to hold banquets and ceremonies. The remains of the garden were discovered in 1967 (Showa 42) and restored in 1998 (Heisei 10) based on the results of many years of research. In 2010, it was designated as a special scenic spot as a particularly valuable ancient garden.
