Tokyo Imperial Palace Parks Amid City Foothills
The article describes Tokyo s imperial palace set in a vast central park ringed by dual moats and massive walls. Shoguns built the outer ring, Dalmyos and attendants lived between moats, symbolizing dependence on the shogun. After restoration, rapid urban growth filled the outer preserve and the palace remains a low, sprawling one story with green tiled roofs and watch towers. The Tokyo palace contrasts with Kyoto s coronation centered palace, which is older and more Japanese in character.
