Tokyo Imperial Palace (Former Edo Castle 2) 🏰

When we arrived in the afternoon, even the East Garden was closed. 🎢🍃 We came back the next morning to visit the East Garden, but we got the time wrong and missed the morning tour of the Imperial Palace. 🌟 The daily tours have a strict limit on the number of visitors. 🏰🌸 There are 100 spots available for online reservations and 300 spots for those who queue up on-site, on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors with online reservations need to arrive at the Kikyo-mon Gate at least 10 minutes early to check in and enter. 🎢🍃 Those without reservations must join the queue at the Kikyo-mon Gate, where numbers are handed out starting half an hour early. 🕰️ 🏰🌸During the tour, an official guide will lead you, with groups divided by language, including English, French, Spanish, and Chinese. 🎢🍃The guide will provide detailed explanations about the palace's etiquette and historical facts, giving you a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. 🌿 #TokyoTravel #ImperialPalaceTour 🏰🌸
