Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace is the current residence of the Emperor of Japan and stands on the former site of Edo Castle in the heart of Tokyo.

Features

• An Imperial Palace visit and garden walk are part of your tour, giving you time to walk among the massive stone walls of the old castle and follow paths through a traditional Japanese garden.
• Your guide leads you through the history of the samurai era at this site, explaining how Edo Castle evolved into the modern Imperial Palace and pointing out key features as you walk.
• When the East Gardens are closed on Mondays and Fridays, the route adapts to focus on the Outer Gardens, Nijubashi Bridge, and the Sakuradamon Gate area so your Imperial Palace visit and garden walk still go ahead.
• An expert guide is included throughout this portion of the tour to interpret the Imperial Palace grounds, the former castle defenses, and the surrounding landscapes, connecting what you see to historical events.
