Akasaka Palace, State guest house in Moto-Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan.
The neo-baroque palace occupies 117,000 square meters with a floor space of 15,000 square meters in central Tokyo's Minato district.
Built between 1899 and 1909 as a residence for the Crown Prince, the palace later became a government facility after World War II.
The palace interior combines European architectural elements with Japanese design features, including samurai-themed decorations and traditional tea ceremony rooms.
Visitors can select from three tour options: garden access, Western-style Palace entry, or guided tours of the Japanese-style Annex with advance reservations.
The first state guest at the renovated palace was President Gerald Ford in 1974, marking the first visit of a sitting US president to Japan.
