The Sanjô Higashi-dono, or Sanjô Eastern Palace, was a major [[Heian period]] palace in [[Kyoto]]. It covered an area roughly 40 ''jô'' square (approx. 120 meters), near what is currently the intersection of Sanjô-Karasuma.
In the early 11th century, [[Fujiwara no Nariie|Fujiwara Iyo no kami Nariie]] had his mansion here, which was later inherited by his descendant [[Fujiwara no Iemichi]], Chief administrator of the [[Imperial Household]] (宮内卿). In [[1125]], during the reign of [[Emperor Sutoku]], Retired [[Emperor Shirakawa]] claimed the site, and built an impressive palace in the ''[[shinden-zukuri]]'' style. After Shirakawa's death, Retired [[Emperor Toba]] took up residence at the palace, along with his empress, [[Taikenmon'in]], until it was destroyed by fire in the 7th month of [[1132]]. The residence, rebuilt, then passed to his son, [[Emperor Go-Shirakawa]].
The palace was famously attacked on [[1159]]/12/9 by [[Minamoto no Yoshitomo]], with a force of over 500 warriors, and set the palace aflame. The Retired Emperor was captured, kidnapped, and confined. And so it was that the [[Heiji Rebellion]] broke out.
The Kyoto Central Telephone Office was built on the site in the [[Meiji period]]; the building is today home to the Shinpûkan shopping complex.
