Kayanomiya

Japanese: 河陽宮 - かやのみや

Emperor Saga's villa. It was located in what is now Oyamazaki-cho, Kyoto Prefecture. It was built in the scenic foothills of the Yodo River, north of Kawayo, and was used as a base for hunting in Minase and other places. It later fell into disrepair, and in 861 it became a building for the Yamashiro provincial government office, on the condition that it could be used when the Emperor visited and that the imperial name would continue to be preserved. In 908 it was handed over completely to Yamashiro Province.

嵯峨天皇の離宮。現在の京都府大山崎町にあった。河陽すなわち河の北，淀川畔の風光明媚な山麓一帯の地に営まれ，水瀬(みなせ)などでの遊猟の足場に使われた。のち荒廃し，行幸(ぎょうこう)があれば使用して宮名も存続することを条件に861年山城国府の建物となる。908年完全に山城国に下げ渡された。
