The large fountain shown in the first photo was built in 1961 to commemorate the marriage of His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus.
After that, it was developed as Wadakura Fountain Park in 1995🌳

As you can see in the photo above, there are fountains of various shapes in the park, and you won't get tired of looking at them✨

In autumn, the rows of ginkgo trees along Gyoko Street turn yellow, making for a wonderful sight !😄

The office district has a busy atmosphere on weekdays, but on weekends you can take a leisurely stroll☕
There are many historical sites around the Imperial Palace, so it would be a good idea to visit them together👍
