We went when it was Free to visit, and it was pretty nice! Lots of open spaces to talk around, and a good amount of information to read on displays. It's nice that they were in Japanese and English. No trees blooming, as we visited early February, but it was still nice to walk through everything.

One of the must do things in Tokyo. The garden is vast and beautiful. I bet it is more vibrant in summer. If you find a cloudy day it will be perfect or go in early morning to soak in the smell of morning dew. The place was very serene and calming.

Free to visit, very peaceful gardens with historic buildings and ruins throughout. Easy to access, this garden will provide a great experience for anyone of any age or ability. My favorite part was the Tokyo skyline showing behind the trees, the contrast of historic and natural scenery to the modern and shining skyline was a beautiful sight. Informational plaques are located throughout the park, and offer descriptions both in Japanese and English. There are also several restrooms and seating areas, as well as maps to find them easier.

Stunningly beautiful place to visit. I went in December when most of the trees had lost their leaves already for the year. But some still were nice reds and yellows. This place is a must see in the Spring for the Sakuras and many flowers it has and the fall for all the colors!

Admission is free. The Gardens are situated at the eastern part of the Imperial Palace used to be the Edo Castle ruins that were built back in the year 1888. Has a huge gorgeous landscaped garden with a wide variety of trees, flowers and woodlands in four seasons. This place requires a long walk for a day to enjoy this breathtaking place. Be sure to have bottled water. It's a picturesque scenery definitely worth a visit.
