The garden are very well maintained & plenty of greenery. The air feels especially fresh here. Very good for a walk in the park & to see the architectural buildings.

Great for picnics and walking. There's also a lot of joggers, so if you're into a little exercise, it's a great place for that too. Best to go in may or October.

Nice spot for a picnic with large grassy areas. Plenty of cultural significance too with some remnants dating back to 1600's!

The garden is located to the east of the palace itself. It is open to the public for free. Make a reservation on the Imperial Household Agency’s website to enjoy a guided tour of the agency.

Look for swans on your way in, and enjoy the view. The perfectly maintained grounds are beautiful, I loved the trees representing each prefecture and the big lawn. Slow down, stay a while 👍🏻

Palace is closed on Mondays and Fridays. For the boat rides you should go to the Chiyode, the opposite part of the castle.

It looks a little dull during the winter, but it still a must if you visit Tokyo. There’s a cool miniature replica of how the castle looked.

Great for a leisurely stroll. Wish I'd had my kids with me as there's so much space to run around and see the old fortifications.

Fun to wander around this historic place, including some old buildings. No admission but closed on Mondays and past 4pm - went there twice before finding it open.

Public are free to enter this park without reservation. Closed Mondays and Fridays, unless of a Monday public holiday, then the park will be open, and the closure day will move to Tuesday instead.

The former site of Edo Castle. The Edo Castle was the residence of the Tokugawa shogun who ruled JAPAN from 1603 to 1867.

江戸城の天守台に江戸城全体の配置図があるので、それを確認してから大奥はここか、松の大廊下はここか、と思いながら歩くのが良いかと思います。また、梅の時期の梅林坂がお勧めです。個人的には全都道府県の木が好きです。

Revisa los horarios en que se dan las visitas, para evitar que llegues y esté cerrado.

Сад конечно красивый, но хотелось все же на дворец императора посмотреть, оказалось это невозможно. Не все ворота работают, лучше спросить у полицейского на входе, как попасть внутрь.
宗幸渡邊December 27, 2015
江戸城の本丸、二の丸、三の丸が存在していたところに当たります。大奥、松の廊下など歴史的に思い巡らして歩くのも楽しいです! Info.・・・ Read more
