Imperial Palace
The area around the Imperial Palace is defined by impressive stone walls, wide moats, and iconic gates that once protected the shogun’s castle. Originally built as a powerful stronghold, the site evolved during the Meiji era and is now a unique place where history, nature, and modern Tokyo come together. It also offers excellent photo spots with views of both the city and lush greenery.
