皇居東御苑 / East Gardens of the Imperial Palace ・　　北の丸公園 / Kitanomaru Park

The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace were developed as a garden attached to the Imperial Palace in conjunction with the construction of the palace from parts of the Honmaru, Ninomaru, and Sanomaru areas of the former Edo Castle, and have been open to the public since 1968.

Kitanomaru Park was the site of the Edo Castle’s Kitanomaru during the Edo period (1603-1868), from which the name of the park and the name of the town derive. After the war, it was decided to utilize the park as a green space around the Imperial Palace, and it was renovated as a forest park. It was incorporated into the outer gardens of the Imperial Palace and opened to the public.

Baggage checks are conducted near the entrances of both.
