#Tokyo Attractions The Imperial Palace Outer Gardens refers to the Kita-no-Maru area (Kita-no-Maru Park) opened in 1969 (Showa 44) and the Imperial Palace Square, as well as the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens surrounding the Imperial Palace, usually referring to the area centered on the Imperial Palace Square. Every tree in the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens is breathtakingly beautiful, and it is a real pleasure to look at these trees. Except for some parts of the lawn that cannot be stepped on, most of the lawn can be walked on freely. This place is not far from Tokyo Station. There is a corridor lined with ginkgo trees in the middle, which takes about five minutes to walk. The area around the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens is very quiet. The well-trimmed black pine trees form a unique contrast with the modern buildings not far away, but they do not appear abrupt. The Imperial Palace Gaien Square covers a large area and is home to more than 2,000 uniquely shaped pine trees, making it like an urban oasis. The Imperial Palace Gardens in Marunouchi, Tokyo, showcases the collision of classical Japanese charm and modern urban style to the greatest extent. Walking out of the Imperial Palace, you can see the high-rise Marunouchi office buildings. The visual impact is very fascinating, and the check-in and photo taking are very photogenic. It is definitely worth a visit! ! Detailed address: 1-1, Imperial Palace Gaien, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan

March 2018 #Tokyo Travel Japan still has an emperor. Politically, he has no power, but he is a spiritual leader of the people. Therefore, there must be a place where the royal family resides, and I was curious about the #Imperial Palace (#皇居) where they still reside, so I went to see it. After getting off at the subway station and walking for a while, I saw a very small Japanese castle inside a fairly wide moat, and there was a barricade installed in front of the door leading inside. Of course, it was to protect the imperial family, but somehow it felt like they were locked in a cage. #Japan #JapanTravel #WorldTravel #Tokyo #Tokyo #東京

The moat of the Imperial Palace & Tokyo Station are covered in yellow!! The yellow flood has piled up on the roadside. The scenery is right in front of my eyes!!🍁🍁🍁 The leaves in the sun are too bright, but the leaves in the shade are brighter, and the impression is completely different even though they are the same leaves. A stroll through the tunnel of yellow leaves is a relaxing and luxurious experience...

This is a standard walking course that goes from Kasumigaseki through Sakuradamon, and from the Imperial Palace to Marunouchi 🚶‍♂️ The Imperial Palace Outer Gardens are very large, and even though there are never few people, it's easy to find an angle with no one around 💦 I headed from the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens to Marunouchi through Gyoko-dori. The third photo shows the "Apple Marunouchi" in Marunouchi, but it seemed to be closed when I tried to enter. Access: Right next to Sakuradamon Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line. Right next to Hibiya Station and Nijubashimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. Right next to JR Tokyo Station and Yurakucho Station. #supporttourism #Tokyo #Tokyowanderingtrip #ImperialPalace #supporttourism

This was the day of the Imperial Palace tour that I had booked two weeks before leaving for Japan. The Imperial Palace, located in the center of Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward, is the residence of the Japanese Emperor. To put it simply, it feels similar to the five grand palaces of our country. Of course, it is currently only a facade, but it is possible to enter and tour the space where the head of state of another country actually resides! I wondered if the Blue House tour that I had done at least once in elementary school would feel like this for people from other countries. The Imperial Palace tour started at 9 o’clock. I arrived at the Imperial Palace on the subway during rush hour, dragging my tired body. The Imperial Palace tour, which involved about 300 people, was conducted by dividing the participants into groups by language, and each group was accompanied by a guide. The Imperial Palace tour was a series of strokes of luck. Unlike the Chinese or English groups where dozens of people followed one guide, the Korean group consisted of only two people, me and my friend. Thanks to this, the tour was much more comfortable than the other groups. When we arrived in front of the Seiden (main hall), which can be called the main building of the Imperial Palace, black limousines were lined up in the square in front of the main hall. And soon after, the area around the square was cordoned off. While I was racking my brain to see if something had happened, I saw someone walking down the hallway of the main hall. As it turned out, that was the first day of the Cyprus diplomatic mission to visit Japan, and the Imperial Palace was the first stop on their itinerary. Coincidentally, the Cyprus diplomatic mission had just exited the building as we were passing through the main hall, and so the visitors, including me, were able to see the magnificent inspection of the Japanese honor guard along with the Imperial Palace. The inspection led by the cavalry and carriages lasted for 20 minutes. #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #IKYO #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotPlace #jhtour

🌳 Kokyo Gaien National Garden – A Peaceful Green Lung in Tokyo’s Heart Escape the constant buzz of Tokyo and step into the serenity of Kokyo Gaien National Garden. This peaceful park is a rare find in the city: quiet paths, open lawns, and plenty of space for kids to run around safely. The harmony here feels especially magical at sunrise or sunset when the light filters through ancient ginkgo trees, painting everything gold. 🗺️ Route & Must-Do: Start from the garden’s main entrance and stroll toward the famous Nijubashi Bridge for breathtaking views of the Imperial Palace’s outer moat and stone walls. Don’t miss the broad lawns dotted with iconic, symmetrical pine trees—they’re the perfect backdrop for a relaxing city picnic or just unwinding in nature. 💡 Tips: - The garden is open 24/7 year-round, but early morning visits are the most peaceful—and photography is a breeze with fewer people around. - Pack a light snack or coffee, but note that picnicking is welcome only on certain lawns; check signs onsite. - Ideal for travelers with kids or anyone needing a city break. ⚠️ Precautions: - Some areas may close for Imperial events; check schedules during major Japanese holidays. - Most paths are stroller-friendly, but avoid the outer moat walks after rainfall—they can get slippery. #Tokyo #KokyoGaien #FamilyTravel #UrbanOasis #NatureLovers

#0YenTravel2025Autumn I went to Gaien Ginkgo Avenue in mid-November. 🙌 The weather was beautiful, and it was a spot where every shot looked great, so I took lots of photos. Each half of the tree was a different color, creating a truly beautiful view. Even though it was a weekday, the area was bustling with tourists and full of energy. It suddenly got cold, but being surrounded by warm air was soothing. ☺️ We had fun making hearts out of fallen leaves and playing in shadows. ♪ Why not visit during the autumn foliage season?

★★★★★ 🌳 Imperial Palace: A Temporal Sanctuary in the Modern City The Imperial Palace Outer Gardens in the early morning are the most beautiful way to start your day! 🌅 Stroll along the double-layered cobblestone moat, gazing up at the fantastical juxtaposition of Edo-era stone walls and modern glass facades. The ritualistic act of taking photos in front of the Nijubashi Bridge 💫 evokes the historical echoes of the Black Ships' arrival and the Showa Emperor's enthronement. The biggest surprise is the free admission to the East Gardens (book in advance on the official website!). Overlooking the moat from the ruins of Edo Castle's keep, and with hundreds of Yoshino cherry trees blooming like a pink sea of ​​clouds during cherry blossom season 🌸, this is truly the "heart" of Tokyo. 🏙️ Chuo Ward Highlights: A Stroll Through Urban Aesthetics from Ginza to Nihonbashi Ginza is more than just a shopping paradise; it's a showcase of the art of living 🛍️: Wako Clock Tower witnesses rebirth after the Great Kanto Earthquake Enjoy afternoon tea at Shiseido Parlour with century-old French toast 🍓 Experience design power at Tsutaya Bookstore GINZA SIX 📚 Weekend "Pedestrian Paradise" street closure transforms the entire Ginza-dori into an open-air salon Nihonbashi holds even more surprises: The lion statue and Renaissance dome of Mitsukoshi Department Store Main Building 🦁 The original site of "Nihonbashi" as depicted by ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige Utagawa The century-old "Eitaro" shop, where konpeito (Japanese sugar candy) shines like jewels 🍬 The mysterious underground food court "COREDO Muromachi," where you can sample B-grade cuisine from all over Japan 🗼 Tokyo Tower: The Timeless Romance of the Showa Era Many say the Tokyo Skytree is taller, but the orange-red silhouette of the Tokyo Tower is the symbol of Tokyo etched into our DNA ❤️! The secret lies in: The glass floor of the main observation deck offers a thrilling experience, with cars below appearing like toy models 🚗. The Top Deck Tour requires reservations, allowing you to sip champagne and gaze at Mount Fuji from 250 meters above the ground 🗻. Nighttime lighting changes with the seasons (the Christmas blue lights are breathtaking 💎). The One Piece-themed amusement park at Foot Town at the bottom will drive anime fans wild 🏴☠️.

Every turn is a cross-section of historical layers, every ray of light and shadow tells a multifaceted narrative of Tokyo. "From the general's castle to the artisan streets, and finally to the beacon of the people—this is not just sightseeing, but an immersive theatrical performance of Tokyo's evolution." 🌟 Leaving with pockets full of fragments of memories: the mossy scent of the pine trees at the Imperial Palace, the warmth of the beechwood path in Ginza, the low rumble of the steel frame of the Tokyo Tower… This city never gives you answers, only more reasons to be captivated ❤️🔥. #Tokyo #ChuoWar #Ginza #ImperialPalace #TokyoTower

Visiting the Imperial Palace on this day, my pace naturally slowed down. Starting from the outer garden, the wide roads, straight pine trees, and fresh air made it hard to believe this was the heart of Tokyo. Approaching the moat, watching the reflections of the sky and ancient walls, it felt as if time had paused. Although access to the core area is restricted, just walking around the perimeter was healing enough. Every step felt like crossing the boundary between the past and the present, both serene and steeped in history. Looking back at the Imperial Palace upon leaving, one can understand why this place represents the "calm" side of Tokyo for so many. It was a very pleasant and worthwhile walking experience to savor.

Tokyo Station at night — where the city slows down, and the cherry blossoms glow. The bustling Tokyo Station at night is devoid of its daytime hustle and bustle, leaving only lights and a gentle breeze. Strolling along Marunouchi Naka-dori, streetlights illuminate the cherry blossoms, the red bricks and pinkish-white hues weaving together to create the most tender spring night scene. ⸻ Exiting Tokyo Station through the Marunouchi Exit, the night air carries a hint of spring coolness. The red brick buildings gleam warmly under the lights, the streets are wide and clean, and there are few pedestrians. Walking slowly along Marunouchi Naka-dori, just a few steps away, cherry blossoms quietly appear on the street. They are not famous cherry blossom viewing spots, nor are there crowds of photographers, yet they are gently illuminated by the streetlights. The petals sway slightly in the night breeze, the red brick walls reflecting the pinkish-white light, the whole scene is as still as a fleeting dream. At that moment, I suddenly felt that Tokyo had become very gentle. This city, which always seems to quicken your pace, also possesses a softer side at night. Passing a café, I bought a hot latte to take with me, watching the cherry blossoms fall in the breeze. The aroma mingled with the coffee scent and the cool spring night breeze, and the sound of trams drifted from afar, like a gentle greeting to the city. If you'd like to experience a moment like this, why not take a stroll here on an evening from late March to early April? After 6:30 pm, the lights come on, the crowds disperse, and the city slows down. Starting from the station, without any plans, simply walk along Nakadori Road towards the Imperial Palace Outer Garden, and you'll see the night view where cherry blossoms and architecture intertwine. When you look up and see that touch of pink, you'll probably understand—the most beautiful scenery on a journey is often not the destination, but those moments gently illuminated by time. ⸻ 📍 Tips｜If You’d Like to See It Too Location: Marunouchi Exit of Tokyo Station → Walk along Marunouchi-Nakadori Time: Late March to early April, best viewed from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM Suggestion: Buy a coffee at the Marunouchi Building first, then go for a walk.

Japan’s royal palace outer garden is seriously a vibe! I stopped by Kokyo Gaien National Garden (1-1 Kokyogaien, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0002, Japan), just steps from the Imperial Palace, and let me tell you—the outer field hits different, especially when you’re walking across those pebbles. The pebble garden is actually a genius old-school security move. During wartime, the pebbles were used so anyone sneaking in at night would be heard immediately—smart moves, right?

It’s suuuper peaceful; you get royal vibes, gorgeous greenery, and epic photospots all around.

Kusunoki Rest House is a Japanese-style restaurant located within the Outer Gardens of the Imperial Palace, popular as a resting spot for tourists. The name comes from the famous general Kusunoki Masashige (also known as Kusunoki Ko) from the Nanboku-chō period, and it serves as a relaxing place for visitors to the Imperial Palace. It is located very close to the [Kusunoki Masashige Statue]! It’s the perfect spot to stop by during a stroll around the Imperial Palace. The rest house is quite spacious, and you can also purchase souvenirs inside the building. The restaurant is very large and seems to accommodate groups as well. Most lunch menus come with a drink bar ranging from juice to coffee, making it a great value. The price at this location is quite a bargain. I chose the domestic young chicken karaage with senjyu flavor. The karaage was very crispy and delicious. I think it’s the best tasting among the restaurants around here. The side dishes, including pickles, simmered dishes, and octopus salad, were all elegantly seasoned and tasty. With a wide variety of menu items such as kudzu udon and steamed sushi, it’s a place I want to visit again. Address: 1-1 Outer Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Nearest station: 5-minute walk from Hibiya Station Exit B6. Also within walking distance from Otemachi Station, Nijubashi Station, and Tokyo Station.

Japan's Imperial Palace Outer Gardens is a good place for a family to walk, and it's only 5 kilometers away.

#5月好去处2025 Visiting the Imperial Household Agency in the Imperial Palace is a rare cultural experience. The entire space is solemn and peaceful, and the architectural style is simple but majestic, showing the low-key and profound style of the Japanese royal family. As the core agency responsible for royal affairs, the Imperial Household Agency has a simple and symmetrical appearance, which echoes the overall atmosphere of the Imperial Palace. The surrounding environment is quiet and green, making people feel that the Imperial Palace is not only a symbol of politics and history, but also a space that coexists with nature. Although it is impossible to enter the interior of the building, being able to take a close look at its appearance and surrounding layout still leaves a deep impression on the tradition and order of the Japanese royal family. This is a place worth slowing down and savoring.
