Surrendered by huge stone walls ad moats, this place feels like the safest place in Japan.

It is just a few steps away from Tokyo station, 10 minutes away, to be exact, which makes it very accessible. It will help people save travel time so they can have more time to explore what Tokyo has to offer. This place is very accessible for those who are flying to and from Narita.
Sights:
Guests start being amazed at the time that they set foot on Kokyo Gaien. This spacious plaza welcomes guests and ushers them to the Nijubashi. They will surely feel like Japanese nobility as they walk through these bridges. These bridges look like a pair of eyeglasses and are sturdy as bridges could be. January 2 and December 23 are the most important days for the Imperial Palace and its visitors. These are the only dates when guests are allowed to enter the palace buildings. Also on these dates, they are free to enter the inner gardens. January 2 is the day when the Imperial Family welcomes the New Year. December 23, on the other hand, is the emperor’s birthday. On these days, members of the Imperial Family appear from the balcony to the delight of guests.
