On the moat alongside the north-western side of Kitanomaru park a lot of rowing activities take place especially during the Sakura season. But also on the bank there is a path which offers the most scenic Sakura spot you can probably see in Tokyo, with an about 700 meter long tunnel of cherry trees in the spring. In the evening it is fully lighted which provides for a rather special atmosphere. An absolute Sakura highlight.

Imperial Palace

The current palace was constructed in the same spot where Edo Castle used to stand. Most of the palace grounds are not open to the public except for the East Gardens, which are accessible on select days.

I went to Tokyo again this year and had a check list of things I didn’t do on my previous trips. The imperial palace was on it and after a trip to the tsukiji market I took a nice walk to the palace. It’s really very beautiful and all the nice old buildings are a must see. Sadly some party were under construction and since it was summer it was super hot. Luckily they have a small museum and souvenir shop with ac

Two-tiered Bridge (Ni-ju Bashi)

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland

Stunning double bridges, one of intricate stone, one of lovely ironworks that mark the entrance to the Imperial Palace. It is possible to enter only on January 2nd and on the Emperors birthday, every other day a photo of the bridges from the other side of the inner moat is all you can do. But it's worth it, the views are gorgeous, as are the bridges themselves. Definitely the highlight of any visit to the Imperial Palace Park and grounds

We took the Shinkansen bullet train from Nagano and disembarked at this station. Opened in 1914, the station has been recently renovated to a beautiful grand colonial building in striking red brick. It is connected to many shopping malls via underground passages.

An important cathedral in the design of Dr. Josiah Condor. This time, I visited for coverage. The appearance of standing in this very quiet area seems to cleanse your heart. Even those who are not interested in architecture can feel the times when they come here.

Masakado Kubizuka

Reviewed By snake_rikita - Tokyo, Japan

Samurai General Masakado Taira was decapitated at BC 930 in Kyoto. After three days of his decapitation his head flied back to Tokyo. Nearby that location Edo castle was built up about 660 years later from his decapitation by General Tokugawa. At BC 1868 Edo castle was owned by Emperor. The memorial of Masakado Taira was watching Government keeping long term as Guardian. His aim was to own Japan. In long long years he was named the symbol of Devil, but he was actually Guardian of Tokyo. He has two faces of Guardian and Devil. When you visit his memorial monument, you will feel his strong spirit. However, many peoples don't know this place. This place is very small, but this place is cleaned up always by Tokyo Metro city hall. The person with rude behavior to this memorial monument was always met unhappiness.
