What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Imperial Palace East Gardens
There are extensive grounds, that are well maintained, that you can walk through. You could easily spend an hour or two just walking the entire grounds. That being said, there are not a lot of flowers in this garden. Our group was kind of looking forward to seeing some flower gardens, but there were no major ones. There are some benches. There are some rest areas near the bathrooms.
Only the garden around the palace is accessible to the public. It is a very large area, extremely nice to walk around. There are fish in the water surrounding the palace and fruit trees everywhere around the grounds. The whole area is immaculately maintained. On the day of my visit, it was not too crowded thus the long walk was very enjoyable. A bit of a distance from the subway, so prepare for a lot of walking!
Expect lots of walking especially since we just went to the free entrance after security. Very serene, but lots of tourists. The shops were cute and there are enough bathrooms everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a place to just look at nature amidst this concrete jungle - this is it.
A large garden with many trees. Very good to walk around. Quite far from the subway station, but the road from the station to this area is very nice. We want to go to the main Imperial Palace but it is not accessible to the public.
So green and lush! In summer the place is very cool and calming! The gardens are very well maintained and stunning to walk and see the amazing butterflies and families around as you enjoy the place.
