Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

These beautiful gardens are located outside of the Imperial Palace. Access to the gardens is open to the public although the palace itself is off limits.
From subway station T08 we entered the garden through the Hirakawa gate & exited at the Ote-Mon gate towards Tokyo station. Good afternoon stroll away from the hustle & bustle of the city.

Stunning double bridges, one of intricate stone, one of lovely ironworks that mark the entrance to the Imperial Palace. It is possible to enter only on January 2nd and on the Emperors birthday, every other day a photo of the bridges from the other side of the inner moat is all you can do. But it's worth it, the views are gorgeous, as are the bridges themselves. Definitely the highlight of any visit to the Imperial Palace Park and grounds

We took the Shinkansen bullet train from Nagano and disembarked at this station. Opened in 1914, the station has been recently renovated to a beautiful grand colonial building in striking red brick. It is connected to many shopping malls via underground passages.
