The architecture itself takes a modernist approach whilst still encompassing Japanese influences such as the beams, gabled hipped roof and columns.
The Palace itself is open to the public only on 2 days of the year – the 2nd of January which is the New Year’s holiday and the 23rd of December, which is the Emperor’s Birthday. On these dates the public can tour the palace and will be rewarded by the appearance of the Royal Family on the main balcony.
However guided tours of certain areas in the palace are possible around the year. These are conducted in Japanese, but English audio tapes are provided free of charge. These tours must be booked in advance.
