The Imperial Palace occupies the site of Edo Castle, the Tokugawa shogunate’s political center from the 1600s; many stone ramparts and moats date from that era.
Stay on public pathways, avoid littering, and respect restricted grounds; the palace grounds and surrounding parks are actively managed to protect historic stonework and urban ecology.
