About the Course – Imperial Palace
Tokyo Imperial Palace is the current residence of Japan’s Imperial Family. There used be Edo Castle in this site, but most buildings were burned out by fire, earthquakes and attacks during WW2. Now the east side of the place is a public park called “The Imperial Palace East Gardens”.
The Imperial Palace is surrounded by moats and stone walls and there are good pedestrian paths around it.
