Kōkyogaien, National Garden in Chiyoda-ku, Japan.
The garden extends across 115,000 square meters of land, featuring extensive grass fields, black pine trees, and ancient moats surrounding the Imperial Palace.
The area contained residences of feudal lords during the Edo period and later served as government offices and military barracks before opening as a public park in 1949.
The Wadakurafuji Park section includes water features and green spaces created to commemorate the current emperor's marriage, reflecting Japanese royal traditions.
The garden remains open daily without entry fees, with multiple access points from Tokyo Metro stations including Nijubashimae and Hibiya stations.
The Nijubashi Bridge consists of two distinct structures: an iron bridge and a stone bridge, which created an optical illusion of a double-layer crossing.
