Why people love Imperial Palace

A truly unique and must see experience for anyone looking for something to do while in Tokyo. Very well organized and affordable tickets but definitely try to book in advance if you can, but they do have same day tickets if you don’t mind waiting a few hours until after you arrive for the next open window/start time. The museum is free range and has no set tour route, but they do have time slots that you must adhere to to keep crowds at a manageable level. Inside you’ll see incredible uses of light and technology that is truly immersive and nothing like you’ve ever seen.

What a unique experience! Had so much fun racing around the Tokyo streets in a go kart while watching the day turn into night. As long as you listen to instructions and pay attention during the briefing, it’s really easy and safe. Fantastic staff as well, who really took care of our safety and wellbeing. Highly recommended way of seeing Tokyo in another way.

Very convenient, there are many lines available to meet basic needs. There are also many stations where you can change cards, and you need to carefully identify the machine.
