A 65-hectare national garden surrounding the Kyoto Imperial Palace, with wide gravel paths, lawns and historic sites in the middle of the city. The Kyoto tourism association lists it as a place where visitors can spend time with their dogs.
The most spacious and central green space in Kyoto for a long leashed walk, open around the clock and free.
Listed by the Kyoto City Tourism Association as dog-friendly; dogs must stay on a leash and off the lawns, and owners must clean up. The garden is open 24 hours, though interior facilities such as the Palace have separate hours.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
