Kokyo Gaien National Garden (or Kōkyogaien 皇居外苑) is located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, just south of the Tokyo Imperial Palace. [1]
Kokyo Gaien National Garden has an area of about 450,000m2. When including Kitanomaru Park and one of the regions that make up Tokyo Imperial Palace, the area reaches 1,150,000m2.
Although it is a park, it has no playground equipment, and it is often seen as a place to relax and enjoy the history of Edo Castle and walk around the square. Also, due to the fact that it is adjacent to the Imperial Palace, there is surveillance by the Imperial Palace Police and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
