The Tokyo Imperial Palace, located on the former site of Edo Castle, is the official residence of Japan's Imperial Family. Surrounded by moats and massive stone walls, this historic site offers a glimpse into Japan's rich past. While the inner grounds are usually off-limits, visitors can catch a view of the iconic Nijubashi bridges from Kokyo Gaien plaza. Guided tours are available for those eager to learn more about the palace's history and architecture.
