refers to a residence of the Empress Dowager of Japan. Literally, Ōmiya means ''Large Palace'', but it is also a courtesy title of the Empress Dowager. 〔See "Ōmiya" entry of Japanese Wikipedia.〕 Thus, the name Ōmiya Palace does not refer to any specific place, such as Ōmiya-ku, Saitama. In the modern history, there are three palaces called Ōmiya Palace: * , or simply Ōmiya Palace, in Kyoto was built in 1867 as the residence of Empress Eishō, the spouse of Emperor Kōmei. The palace is now used as a lodging for the imperial family and state guests.〔(Kyoto Imperial Palace and other Imperial Palaces and Villas in Kyoto )〕 * in Akasaka, Tokyo was the residence of Empress Teimei, the spouse of Emperor Taishō. After her death at the palace in 1951, the site of the palace was converted to the Crown Prince's residence Tōgū Palace which is now used by Crown Prince Naruhito and his family. * in the Kōkyo in Tokyo was originally the residence of Emperor Showa and Empress Kōjun and was called Fukiage Palace. After the Emperor's death in 1989, the palace was renamed Fukiage Ōmiya Palace where the Empress Dowager lived until her death in 2000.〔(The Imperial Palace | Fukiage Ōmiya Palace )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ōmiya Palace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
