A	Arjun Sarup on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not much is left of Edo Castle except walls, moats, some guardhouses and gates. The donjon was destroyed in a fire, and only the stone foundations exist. World War II destroyed more buildings. Standing here, one can use one's imagination to think of how splendid the castle would have looked in its heyday when ruled by the Tokugawa shoguns. The area in front of the donjon was occupied by the Honmaru Goten Palace, residence of the shogun.
L	Luke Phang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The leftover stone foundation of the Edo Castle, where visitors can climb to get a better view of the gardens and the surrounding area. Good spot for taking pictures but not much else to see.
O	Oscar Mathews on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing to see this much open area in the middle of Tokyo. I visited the gardens the only bad part was it was raining so I didnt get to stay or explore everything that I wanted. Worth a visit if you like walking around. Also the walls are built with such intricacy crazy.
K	Karl 1974 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Edo Castle (江戸城, Edo-jō), also known as Chiyoda Castle (千代田城, Chiyoda-jō), is a flatland castle that was built in 1457 by Ōta Dōkan. It is today part of the Tokyo Imperial Palace and is in Chiyoda, Tokyo (then known as Edo), Toshima District, Musashi Province. Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate here. It was the residence of the shōgun and location of the shogunate, and also functioned as the military capital during the Edo period of Japanese history. After the resignation of the shōgun and the Meiji Restoration, it became the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Some moats, walls and ramparts of the castle survive to this day. However, the grounds were more extensive during the Edo period, with Tokyo Station and the Marunouchi section of the city lying within the outermost moat. It also encompassed Kitanomaru Park, the Nippon Budokan Hall and other landmarks of the surrounding area.
C	Christian Martinez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very beautiful during the cherry blossom (Late Mar - early Apr) crowds are large everyday but less during weekdays. Admission is free. Beverages are allowed (non alcoholic) but you must take a sip in front of officers for security reasons. Parking lot gets packed early so plan ahead or just walk. Highly recommend if your in the Tokyo area.
S	Steven Taarland on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The castle ruins and the surrounding park are lovely to explore. We spent a few hours here and it was really nice. Its worth noting that the park is closed two days a week, and you should check if it is open beforehand.
