TWO weeks ago we went to Tokyo to see the Emperor's palace. No one is actually allowed inside the palace grounds but many small parks and visitor areas surround the palace wall and their gates with guards. The palace is actually right in the middle of the city, it's a small oasis of green and quiet in the middle of one of the biggest cities on earth.
The palace is built higher up and has a large moat and walls which surround it completely. There really isn't anywhere nearby to stop and sit though. Signs and fences everywhere
keep people off the grass and there aren't any benches or seats. We went on a very hot day too. Both of us had mild sunburn after walking around.Perhaps the most famous shot of the palace (and I'm not sure why) is the front bridge from the side. From this angle you can see a bit of the palace in the background on the right.
