See a magnificent Edo-era gate up close!
The Former Inaba-Ikkeda Clan Residence Main Gate, built in the late Edo period, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the era. Flanked by imposing stone lanterns, the gate exudes an air of authority and elegance. Constructed with a tiled roof and wooden pillars, it showcases the advanced architectural techniques of its time. Passing through the gate, you can easily imagine the vast estate that once stood there. Now part of the Imperial Palace East Garden, it's surrounded by lush greenery. The Imperial Palace East Garden, located east of the Imperial Palace, includes the Imperial Palace East Garden, Kita-no-maru Park, and many other green spaces and cultural facilities. After visiting the Former Inaba-Ikkeda Clan Residence Main Gate, a stroll through the Imperial Palace East Garden is highly recommended.
