What it costs a family of four

Free

No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.

What to know

FREE. The old castle keep's foundations and the gardens of Edo Castle, in the middle of the city. CLOSED MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS, which catches people out. The palace itself is not open except on 2 January and the Emperor's birthday; the inner grounds tour is free but must be booked.

Closed on Monday. Plan around it — this is the single most common wasted morning.
