Dont know Japan but I went here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changdeokgung … Theres a path thru a huge courtyard with symmetrical buildings on each side. In the past only an Emperor could walk on it. If you walk down it, the power of the imposing architecture feels like the universe is at your feet
