Toba Imperial Villa, Imperial detached palace in Fushimi ward of Kyoto, Japan
The Toba Imperial Villa extends across five districts, containing multiple palace buildings, Buddha halls, and cultivated gardens with water features.
Emperor Shirakawa established the Toba Imperial Villa in 1086, which later underwent extensions under Emperor Toba during the Heian period.
The Eastern palace grounds reveal a traditional yarimizu stream and pebble beach arrangement, reflecting Japanese garden design principles of the period.
The archaeological remains of the villa, including Akinoyama hill in the Southern palace section, are accessible for research and educational purposes.
The waterfall stone configuration at Kongōshin'in temple represents one of the few preserved elements from the original palace complex.
