Imperial palace is located in the park. The gate was closed because it was early in the morning when I visited there.

The park is vast. We need half day for viewing whole the park.

Where ?

As you see this map, the garden is so large. It’s between Marutamachi station and Imadegawa station. So, many people pass through the park.

Beautiful Autumn garden

This park was decorated with Autumn leaves as well as Kiyomizudera temple. Though many leaves were fallen because of long rainfall. But red and yellow wet carpet was enough beautiful.
