🌸Ultimate Guide to Tokyo Imperial Palace(2)🌸

📸 Photography Tips ✔️ Arrive at 6:30 AM to capture the stone walls shrouded in morning mist, with moss glistening in the early light. ✔️ The best spot near the Imperial Household Agency's pond offers a perfect frame of the Imperial Palace roof and Tokyo Skytree in one shot. ✔️ After rain, the cobblestone streets reflect beautifully. You can rent rain boots at the visitor center. ⚠️ Important Notes To visit the inner garden, make a reservation on the official website one month in advance (bring your passport). 🍃🌸 Wear comfortable shoes! Walking on gravel paths for long can be uncomfortable and slippery. Drones are prohibited! Commercial photography requires prior notification. The outer area of the Imperial Palace is free, while the inner garden admission is approximately 1,000 yen. 🌿 Seasonal Highlights June Exclusive: The hydrangea garden at North Park (mid to late June). 🍃🌸 Hidden Gem: Visit Wadakura Fountain Park in the evening, where the setting sun turns the castle walls golden and creates a dreamy atmosphere. 🍡 Nearby Delicacies Must-try matcha parfait at "Imperial Outer Garden Teahouse" near the East Garden exit. 🍃🌸 Walk 10 minutes to "Marunouchi Building" for limited edition Japanese sweets with amazing floor-to-ceiling views. 💡 Bonus Tip: Every Sunday from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM, there's a free bike tour around the moat, covering 3.3 km. It's super refreshing! 🚴‍♂️ #TokyoTravel #JapaneseImperialPalace #EdoCastleRuins 🌇🌸
