A 2.5-hour walking tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens and former Edo Castle grounds in Tokyo, led by a local English-speaking guide. The tour covers the history of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Edo Castle ruins, and traditional Japanese garden landscapes.
No. Entry into the Imperial Palace buildings is not permitted to the public. The tour covers the Imperial Palace East Gardens and surrounding grounds, including the former Edo Castle site, castle ruins, and traditional gardens.
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The route is easy and mostly flat throughout.
I booked this small group paid 2.5-hour tour of the Imperial Palace East Garden with Tokyo Localized since I prefer to deal directly with the tour operator. They were a pleasure to work with. I sent several messages with questions and Tokyo Localized always responded promptly.

We had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful Imperial Palace and its gardens. Even with the large, busy crowds, it was a great way to spend three hours — especially for only $36 (AUD).
