No Need to Visit the Imperial Palace ๐ฐ
#WhereToGoOnWeekends ๐ข๐Hey, girls๐! Fun factโจ: After the Meiji Restoration, Emperor Meiji moved the Imperial Palace, which had a thousand-year history in Kyoto, to this location. Now, you can visit the Imperial Palace and the East Garden for free! However, there's a "little hurdle"๐ช for visiting the palace. You need to book in advance on the official website. ๐ข๐ If you can't get a reservation, you can try your luck by lining up on the spot. ๐ Each session releases about 140 spots, with two sessions daily at 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Act fast, or you'll miss out! ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ Early birds will receive a numbered ticket from the staff๐. ๐ข๐ Don't forget to bring your passport when filling out the information! Once inside, the arrangement is super considerate. There are multilingual briefings in Japanese, English, and Chinese๐ฃ๏ธ ๐ Visitors are divided into groups by language and follow tour guides. Everything is well-organized, and the staff are so that you'll want to give them a thumbs-up!๐ ๐ข๐ But, to be honest๐ , I thought we could get up close to the royal buildings, but it turned out to be just a walk around the main roads... If it's a sunny day, you'll end up sweating like crazy! ๐ For those with tight schedules, you might want to consider skipping this place. Don't ask me how I know๐ญ! Transportation Guide: Take the subway to Tokyo Station or Otemachi Station, search for the "Kirinomon" on your navigation app, and just follow the directions! ๐๐ #ImperialPalace #TokyoTravel #Japan ๐
