Cần Quan Tâm
Tatsumi Yagura, also known as Sakurada Nijū Yagura, is a historic two-story watchtower located in the Imperial Palace grounds in Tokyo. Built during the Edo period, it is one of the few surviving structures of the original Edo Castle, reflecting Japan’s feudal past. Positioned at the southeast corner of the old inner moat, it once served both symbolic and defensive roles. Though the interior is closed to the public, the tower can be viewed from nearby paths in the Imperial Palace East Gardens—a favorite for photographers and history lovers exploring Tokyo sightseeing spots.
Two-tiered Bridge (Ni-ju Bashi)
One of the most iconic views of the Imperial Palace, the double-arched Nijūbashi Bridge gracefully spans the moat and serves as the main approach to the inner grounds. Beloved for its elegant stone structure and photogenic scenery, it is a must-see highlight for visitors exploring central Tokyo.

5.00We had an excellent time on our tour with Yumi today. She knew so much about the palace, gardens and history and it was all very interesting. Yumi was happy to answer our many questions. You can go around the palace gardens for free, but so glad we went with a tour from Yumi because we learned so much. Thank you for a fantastic time.
Great Experience
