The Imperial Palace East Gardens occupy the former site of Edo Castle's innermost defensive circles, preserving moats, walls, gates, and guardhouses from the shogunate era. Visitors explore a wide lawn surrounding the foundation of a 1638 castle tower, historic Japanese gardens, and architectural remnants spanning from the Tokugawa period (1603-1867) through Emperor Meiji's residence (1868-1888).
