Imperial Palace - Public Visit Day

On emperor's birth day (Dec. 23rd) and Jan. 2nd, we can go through Nijubashi bridge to congratulate together.

This is a good opportunity to see the bridge from the other side and inner part of Imperial Palace.
Inner part of Imperial palace may be open to public irregularly in spring and autumn, too.

Emperor's family shows up on the veranda of Chowaden Hall and the emperor makes a speech usually three time a day.
