“Interesting enough”

The place is huuuuuuuuge. You can easily kill an hour or two here, wandering around. But that's all there really is to do...wander around. There's not really much to see here. Most building have no entrances, and the majority of the palace grounds is empty unused space (Which is kind of cool in its own right). You don't feel like you're in central Kyoto when you're inside the palace grounds. So if you need a not-so-far-away getaway, this may be the place for you. Add half a star if you enjoy walking. You'll be doing a lot of it.
