Approaching the Imperial Palace
There is a very large gravel walkway leading up to the Imperial Palace. It's expansive and a little bit desolate.
Sightseers taking photos of the Nijubashi (2 bridges) outside the Imperial Palace. The foreground bridge is called "Meganebashi" (Eyeglass Bridge).

The Imperial Palace. This is about the closest you get. The palace itself is off limits to the general public. (I hear rumors that tours are possible if reserved in advance, but have not confirmed.)
