Loved visiting the Imperial Palace East Garden. It’s a vast and peaceful place, perfect for a relaxing walk. Lots of different trees, nice gardens, koi ponds, and interesting old palace structures like guard houses, cellars, watch-towers, tea house. In case u want to take a break, there are rest areas equipped with vending machines too. The entry to the garden is free! Totally worth visiting... 🍃

Absolutely gorgeous garden! A lot of work has gone into preserving its historical significance and beauty, including preserving original guard barracks and the orchard. Now, the garden serves as a celebration of Japan. They’ve added various sections such as the bamboo garden with different bamboos found across the country and a tree garden with one tree from every province. The landscaping is impressive—they’ve maintained the original walls and moats—and they’ve done their best to make the gardens accessible to all ages. No fee or ticket needed for entry, just a bag check at the entrances. Reading other reviews, it’s worth noting there is no palace here anymore, nor is the palace really visible. This is just the East Garden adjacent the current Imperial Palace.

Beautiful and peaceful, wide open spaces with lots of greenery that will make you double-think if you're really still in Tokyo. The weather was great (late Oct) and although the autumn leaves weren't out yet, the trees and grass are lush and full of life. The huge koi fish swimming in the pond are also wonderful to look at. There is a bag check at the entrance.
