Castles and Palaces of Tokyo

Tokyo’s architectural landscape preserves the transition from feudal power to imperial tradition. This collection highlights the Tokyo Imperial Palace, built on the 15th-century foundations of Edo Castle, and the massive stone ruins of its former Tenshudai donjon. The list includes the Neo-Baroque Akasaka Palace, which serves as a state guest house, and the Tōgū Palace within the expansive Akasaka Imperial Estate. For a glimpse into the Sengoku period, the earthwork ruins of Jindaiji Castle in Chōfu offer a rare look at medieval fortifications surviving beyond the city center.
