Step into Japan's imperial history
Meet your expert guide at Wadakuramon Fountain Park, where your historical journey begins. Together, stroll toward the grand main gate, Otemon, the majestic entrance to the Imperial Palace grounds. As you step through the gate, the vibrant pulse of Tokyo fades, revealing the serene beauty of the palace grounds, a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city. The carefully manicured gardens are a living testament to Japan’s rich history, showcasing traditional Japanese landscape design with lush greenery, vibrant seasonal flowers, and elegant stone lanterns. As you explore, your guide shares captivating stories of how this site transformed from the center of power for the Tokugawa shogunate to a symbol of modern Japan, while a miniature structure depicts the palace’s former grandeur.
Uncover remnants of the past
Wander the expansive grounds, where history whispers from every corner. Explore the remnants of old soldier barracks, once bustling with samurai, and marvel at the impressive stone walls that protected the palace. Look closely to spot the vibrant koi fish swimming gracefully in the serene ponds, a unique breed found only here. As you stroll beneath the canopy of centuries-old trees, many of which hail from various prefectures across Japan, admire the cherry blossoms in spring or the vibrant foliage in autumn. Your final stop will be the old base of the castle that was constructed in 1457 and proudly watched over Japan until 1863.
