Kōkyo-gaien Plaza

This wide grassy expanse, in the southeast corner of Kōkyo-gaien, has roughly 2000 immaculately maintained Japanese black pine trees that were planted in the late 19th century. Walk as close as you can to the Imperial Palace for the famous view of the two bridges: Megane-bashi and Nijū-bashi.
