Imperial Palace






We also went to the Imperial Palace, in downtown Tokyo, which is where the Emporer of Japan and his family live. While the Emporer is no longer the ruler of Japan (he is only a figurehead), him and his family are still a larger part of Japanese history. The gates to the Palace grounds are only open twice a year so we were only able to view it from the outside. It was still a beautiful site to see! I hope to come back again during the New Year when the gates will be open.
