The Experience
Edo Castle was the largest castle in Japan. Today, only parts of it remain, but you can still find traces of the castle throughout Tokyo. A local guide will explain just how massive Edo Castle was and how its defenses made it nearly impenetrable. This castle played a key role in maintaining the peaceful samurai era that lasted for 260 years.
Today, Edo Castle serves as the Imperial Palace, the residence of Japan’s emperor. The imperial system is a tradition that has continued for 2,600 years. But how has it managed to survive for so long? Join us to uncover the secrets behind this enduring legacy.
