Imperial Palace

Even though you are in the middle of Tokyo the moat and the old guardhouse buildings give the palace grounds a peaceful and idylic feel.

Close to train station so a nice stroll to break your travel plans.

Very well kept, with walla and moat.

The actual palace is partly hidden behind the wall and not the most impressive in Japan.

Not much to see as it's closed to visitors for most of the year, but worth a visit.
