Kitanomaru Park

北の丸公園

Tokyo · Kanto

Kitanomaru Park occupies the northern bailey of the old Edo Castle grounds, just north of the Imperial Palace, and two of the castle's original gates still stand at its edges. It is free and open at all hours; the moat running alongside it is where the rowing boats are, and where the heaviest cherry-blossom crowds go. It is a short walk from Kudanshita Station.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on the more famous parks and attractions in Tokyo, overlooking this tranquil spot.
