The current Imperial Palace (Kokyo) is located on the former site of Edo Castle. It has a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo station. It is the residence of Japan's Imperial Family. The palace buildings and inner gardens are not open to the public. The Imperial Palace East Gardens are open to the public throughout the year except on Mondays, Fridays and special occasions.
