    An enjoyable stroll through the Edo Castle grounds

    Nicholas_M, Apr 2025
    This tour involved an enjoyable stroll through the grounds of Edo Castle and the Imperial Palace surroundings, accompanied by commentary that helped to put the sights into historical context. There is not a whole lot to see of the Edo period, as most of it burnt down in 1657, but the parks are nice to visit. Our guide provided informative commentary to the sights, though it could have been a little bit more structured or gone into more detail about the history of the Shogun.
