Last week I was once again in Germany, when only very briefly for a conference. Therefore, also no time to visit anybody or enjoy the stay. Fortunately, I was able to visit some, because it was in my old university. Twice in a short time over 11 hours in the airplane with a respective total journey time of about 23 hours is tiresome.
However, because the flight was early in the morning, I drove to Tokyo on Tuesday. Therefore, I visited for half of the day the publicly accessible part of the garden of the imperial palace, before I went evening to the hotel and checked in. Unfortunately, I could not make a tour of a small privat part of the park, because you had to book and it had already been fully booked a month before. But alone the two public parts are already huge and the sum of the two gives approximately the size of the whole private terrain. It is so large, that particularly in the western part even has partial road traffic through the terrain. If you want to go to the east, the bags are checked because drones aren’t allowed.
The garden is impressive, even if you see the Tokyo skyline in the background. The site also houses a small museum and you will also find some information signs with English texts, an English audoguide would also be possible, which I did not use. Unfortunately, I only noticed later that there is also a kind app for the information.
This time again only a few pictures without further information.
