Easily accessible natural and historical space inside the Imperial Palace
This is a vast park rich in nature that was created by maintaining a portion of Edo Castle (currently the Imperial Palace). The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is open to the public, so it's easy to visit. While we recommend relaxing on the wide lawn, we also recommend taking a walk along the ruins of the past. Lunchtime concerts by the Imperial Palace Police Band are held irregularly, but the lunchtime concerts by the Imperial Palace Police Band are especially wonderful, so be sure to check the website before your visit.

There is a 50m long stone wall just past Ote-mon and Ote-san-no-mon. Hyakunin Bansho was a checkpoint when entering Edo Castle, and was given the name because it was always guarded by 100 concentric soldiers. You will be reminded of the technology used at the time to pile up large stones without any gaps, and you will be able to experience the overwhelming power of the stone. Of course, it is also a recommended spot for commemorative photos.
