The Imperial Palace East Gardens are defined by massive, weathered stone walls and deep moats that once formed the innermost defensive rings of Edo Castle. While the wooden structures that occupied these grounds between sixteen hundred and three and eighteen hundred and sixty-seven have long vanished, the site remains the former seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, the military government that ruled Japan for over two and a half centuries.
