Imperial Palace East National Gardens

#tokyospots A Photographer’s Dream (★★★★★) The East Gardens offer exceptional photo opportunities through the clever juxtaposition of old and new. Capture the traditional stone walls against the modern Tokyo skyline, the tranquil reflection of the Ninomaru Pond, or the bright colors of the seasonal flowers. The sheer scale of the green space, the elegant Japanese landscaping, and the dramatic historical ruins provide endless subjects. It is particularly beautiful during the golden hour near closing time.
