Enjoy a tour in the heart of Edo (one of the former names of Tokyo) The Imperial Palace has been located in the center of the great metropolice since the Edo (1603-1868) period where Tokugawa "Shogun" had lived. You may have seen photos of its exterior; the moat, bridges, stone walls and gates, but did you know that you could go inside, too? In this tour, you will visit the art gallery with displays of Japanese art and craft, the ruins of the Edo Castle and a beautiful park full of greenery, all within the grounds of the palace. You can also enjoy the views of the contrast between the modern Marunouchi office buildings and the traditional and historic grounds of the Imperial Palace. Learn about the history behind all the locations you visit at the Imperieal Palace and its surrounding area.

My tour guide (Fumi) was very knowledgeable about the history of the Imperial Palace and sites. He helped provide directions for me after the tour so I could navigate to some other points of interest. I didn’t realize when booking that so much time was spent at MOMAT. I wasn’t really interested in the museum and could have spent more time exploring maybe the west gardens of the palace. If you book this tour I would just recommend great walking shoes too. Lots of walking but we had a beautiful day for it.
