Walking Around The Imperial Palace
We walked around the Imperial Palace. It's the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It's a huge area surrounded by moats. It is built on the site of the old Edo Castle. The Edo Castle was destroyed by fires (1657, 1873), and during World War II.
When we walked pass Chidorigabuchi park, we saw three birds were standing on the heads of naked statues. It was funny...
You can see the parliament as well.
You can go through Sakurada gate. Stone-lined wall is beautiful and awesome!

The bridge below is the main bridge to the Imperial Palace. An interesting thing is that most people believe and call it Nijūbashi, but actually it's called Seimon-ishibashi. I had believed it was Nijūbashi, too!!!
The weather was nice and it was a really nice walk with having an opportunity to be exposed to great Japanese traditional construction methods.
