 Niju-bashi by salisbury3933 Although much of the grounds are off limits to visitors, the Imperial Palace and the surrounding gardens are similar in size to New York's Central Park. There's plenty of green around, a revelation in the concrete jungle that is Tokyo. There are remains of the old Edo Castle there. The main part of Edo Castle was burned down many years ago now, but some of the outer buildings remain. Well worth having a look. Leave a Comment

by Angel_Dust Edo Castle, this is part of the palace. It has a lot of historical meanings. I think only the East Garden is open as the other parts of the castle was under construction? It was a nice walk nonetheless, there is no entrance fee. Leave a Comment Directions: Um, you can get off of one of the subway stations...don't quite remember which one...it should be pretty easy to figure out though!

 Nijubashi bridge by spunkmuffin For some reason, this bridge attracts hordes of people lining up to take their photos in front of it. Couples, families, and entire huge tourist groups. I can't say I necessarily see what is so special about it, but it was one of the few things to see around the Imperial Palace. Leave a Comment

 Imperial Palace by Breen I knew I had to go here when I got into Tokyo. Although its a big tourist area you can largely find time to yourself in this area and not to many people around due the size of the area. Be sure to obey the customs in some of the buildings, which they will ask you to remove your shoes. The prices at the shops here are reasonable too for a tourist location. More importantly though is the history of the place, the buildings and the gardens were great to see, with information spread throughout the grounds explaining the area in English and Japanease. This can also be a good walk for those who are looking for some exercise, with many hills and bridges around the area and even some hidden paths to explore with some nice clear ponds and flowers everywhere to see. Although I'm not usually someone to into landscape and gardening I spent hours here and really enjoyed myself! Leave a Comment

by Inkan1969 I only visited the southeast corner of the Imperial Palace Grounds. It was beautiful. I had no idea the Palace Grounds was so huge. And there were hardly anyone in the area. So the southeast corner is a great place to relax from the stress of the city. A good chunk of the grounds is covered with pebbles. That makes the relaxation more theaputic. :-) I was in awe at the grounds' huge stone walls. Landmarks on the wall included beautiful towers like the one shown in this picture.

 Statue of Kusunoki Masashige @ Detached Court by wkcsmt It is located just across from the Imperial Palace / Uchiboro Dori. Nice place to walk about. And if you need to get some drinks, there a booth and some vending machines around. Also, washroom facilities is available if you really... really need to use it!! Leave a Comment Directions: Short walk from Hibiya or Nijubashi mae or Sakuradamon Stations.

by davidlop It's a pleasant walk to spend a couple of hours, starting at the north-west gardens (kitanomaru-koen park), then going south to the main entrance, visiting the rests of the outer walls, and ending with main gardens (near Tokyo Station). Leave a Comment Directions: From Kudanshita Station (kitanomaru-koen park) to Kyoto Station (or Otemachi station) (main entrance)

by yann75 Not much to see as it's closed to visitors for most of the year, but worth a visit. Leave a Comment
