What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Imperial Palace
A very huge area. Lots to walk and walk. It was a large garden, but when we visited it was not fully in its well maintained state, probably because of the off season. If you have time, you can definitely check out the imperial palace. There are a lot of guided tours available and you can spend a lot of time here if needed. We did the garden tour and basic areas of the palace
It's my second time visiting here, and still love it. It's the place expressing the great Japanese culture. The place is well maintainace. The sightseeing and garden around the palace are wonderful. I enjoy and kept walking for a half day. Great place for relaxing and breathing.
Reserve tickets in advance, it's easy, free and it will save you quite some time.
Because it's free I don't want to be too critical, the tour guide was very good and she really tried to give as much information as possible. I just wish we would've been able to see more of the palace. You have to follow a set path, and I feel like we only explored like 25% of it.
Lovely grounds and palace … the gardens are particularly nice. Not too much access to the palace unless you get a guided tour, and even then you still don’t get much. Still, very relaxing and worth a visit.
Beautiful gardens and well kept grounds. The area is huge and there are nicely preserved cabins and homes. Entry was free to go inside the gardens. There is a gift shop inside and they have ice cream and cold water. They also accept credit cards.
