Imperial Palace

It is hard to imagine that the Imperial Palace with its white walls and black tiles is located near Tokyo Station, where every inch of land is expensive. The residence of the emperors of the past dynasties still retains the charm of the Edo period in the changing times of Japan. Walking around the city along the moat, the walls of Edo Castle are still visible, as the majestic statue of Masanari Kusu, a general from the Kamakura period. In East Gyoen, the lush vegetation, exquisitely carved courtyards, and the huge general's house make people feel like walking into the long memories of Tokyo. It is free to visit the outer part of the palace. Please make a reservation online in advance if you want to go inside.
