What you can expect

Experience both Old and New Tokyo on a walking tour of the Imperial Palace. Explore the serene oasis of East Gardens that holds historical significance as part of the former Edo Castle grounds, once serving as the residence of the Tokugawa shoguns during the Edo period.

Get a glimpse into Japan's rich history and traditional landscape architecture. As you wander through the meticulously manicured gardens, encounter various features such as lush greenery, tranquil ponds, graceful bridges, and meticulously pruned bonsai trees.

See the Honmaru area, which was once the main compound of Edo Castle. Here, you can explore the ruins of the castle's foundation, gates, and defensive structures, gaining insight into the castle's layout and defensive strategies.

Then, admire the Ninomaru Garden, known for its scenic beauty and traditional Japanese design. See meticulously arranged trees, shrubs, and stone lanterns that create a peaceful atmosphere perfect for contemplation and relaxation.

Throughout the East Gardens, find historical artefacts, such as stone walls, guard houses, and watch towers. Marvel at the seasonal beauty of cherry blossoms in spring or colourful foliage in fall, and learn about Japan's feudal history through the carefully preserved structures and artefacts.
