Located in the center of the capital city Tokyo, the extensive gardens of the Imperial Palace are enveloped in lush greenery. The gardens were once the gardens of Edo Castle. The palace landscape is dotted with attractive elements such as a Japanese garden, widespread lawns, a rose garden and bamboo forest. Here you can enjoy seasonal flowers including cherry blossoms.
