The Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, serves as the primary residence of the Emperor of Japan. Located on the former site of Edo Castle, the palace is a sprawling complex of buildings, including the main palace (Kyūden), private residences of the Imperial Family, an archive, museums, and administrative offices. Surrounded by large gardens and moats, the palace is situated in the Chiyoda district, right in the heart of Tokyo. While much of the palace grounds are not open to the public, special tours are available, and the East Gardens are accessible to visitors throughout the year.
