This historically significant site offers an introduction to the construction techniques behind its towering structure, which stands over 60 meters high—a testament to Japan’s architectural brilliance and craftsmanship.

Beautifully arranged gardens and ponds seamlessly blend with the grandeur of the surroundings, creating a serene and visually stunning experience.
Beautiful, clean, peaceful, sparsely crowded given it's vastness, relaxing. Brilliant place to go for a walk and spend a few hours - totally loved it and highly recommend. Entry shuts at 4.30/5.30pm across days and there bushes bearing fruit inside!
A grand palace surrounded by gardens and a ditch with water all around.
Gardens have wonderful trees and there is a beautiful bridge going to the palace.
It was a pity that it was closed when we visited this area but still it was nice to see it from outside.
Check the timetables before going.

Walking around the imperial palace and seeing the gardens is a nice way to spend an afternoon. I took the loop around the palace the morning I was waiting for my plane. It was a nice way to see the rounding area, enjoy a walk, and see the palace culture.
