Imperial Palace

#fallingseason The imperial palace is located in Chiyoda city, Tokyo and is within walking distance of Otemachi station. This palace, which dates back to the 14th century, was opened to public visits in 1968. It contains many gardens and castle ruins. It is a place that gives you peace with both its nature and history inside of the world's most crowded city. I went in autumn and explored this place by walking for 2-3 hours in slightly cold weather. Admission is free. You can check in between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Check-in hours vary depending on the season. #travelinspiration #japantravel #asiatrip #imperialheritage #imperialpalace

Absolutely stunning gardens. We were intending to go to the palace but after learning no one can go in (because the imperial family lives there) we went to the gardens instead and I’m so glad we did. Free to enter, they just have to check your bag for security purposes. Wide green lawn in the middle which we laid down on and relaxed, lots of little paths which led to little towers and buildings all of which had cool historic information about the area. There’s also a small lake to one side with lots of koi fish, a small waterfall and pretty landscaping. Highly recommend. I wish to come back here in 2024 #2024wish
