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.
