5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Didn't realise but they have two trips (one at 10.30 ? and one at 1pm - Both in February 2020). Got there at 12.30. The trip was brilliant. Was really worth the 2 hours spent.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

If you have time its worth visiting the neary Craft Gallery and Museum of Modern Art just to the north of the Palace.

4/5 - Good

Gets very busy - try to go outside of normal sightseeing tours.

4/5 - Good

There are illuminated trees from November along Marunouchi Nama- Dori which is quite near the palace.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Well it's closed to the public, so no point going unless you want a guided-tour with no option to stray from it. You have to queue up for quite a while and there are 300 people in the group. I don't know how many languages would be offered but most Japs hardly speak any English. Around the palace are wonderful gardens though and if you approach the palace entrance and walk beyond it and right, you'll come to an excellent park that is very pretty. You can spend a good 2-3 hours just walking round those gardens and, of course, on the other side of the palace grounds is an art gallery, a science museum, and then the bodokan.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Nice organised walk through the gardens but you don't see much of the palace.
