The Imperial Palace Tokyo (皇居 Kokyo) is the home of the Emperor
of Japan (the Japanese head of state). The actual Imperial Palace
building was part of the Edo Castle. It is surrounded by a moat and a
high wall and occupies the most expensive square kilometre in the
world. The Imperial Palace Tokyo is located within the
Chiyoda ward.

The Imperial Palace East Gardens, however, are open to the public daily except Mondays and Fridays. Kept in impeccable shape, the gardens are particularly beautiful during the March and April plum and cherry blossom seasons. Entrance is free through a number of gates; most visitors use the Otemachi gate near the subway station of the same name. See almost 50 original photographs of the Imperial Palace East Garden in cherry blossom season in the Japanese Lifestyle picture gallery.
It is said that the Nijubashi Bridge is the most photographed scene in Japan.
