Gonaitei is a small garden running along a stream north of Oike niwa garden.
In 794 Kyoto (then Heiankyo) became the capital under Emperor Kanmu. The Gosho---Imperial Palace---was at the north end of the city. As it burned repeatedly, the emperor took refuge at other palaces. The current site became the permanent palace in 1331 under Emperor Kogon and remained so until the capital was moved to Tokyo in 1869. The new palace also burned, and was rebuilt in 1788 and again in 1854. This is the palace we see today.
