Imperial Palace East National Gardens

Free and Accessible History (★★★★☆)
The best part? Entry to the East Gardens is completely free. This amazing public accessibility allows everyone to walk on grounds once reserved for the Emperor and the Shogun. Entry is granted through historic gates like the Ote-mon, where you must pick up a temporary plastic token. Its central location, a short walk from Tokyo Station, makes it an excellent, low-effort addition to any Tokyo itinerary. It offers significant history without any cost.
