Unfortunetly,
this is all a one-way course.
You won't be able to go back through the Sakashita-mon Gate.

Why is this such a big deal?!
This whole event started back in 2014
as a celebration of Emperor Akihito's 80th birthday🎂✨
It grew massive attention and popularity
and ever since then the Imperial Household Agency
decided to open this area to the public regularly.
Obviously,
the general public don't have access to the palace grounds
besides the outside park area.
But thanks to this event,
people now have access twice a year!
This road that runs from the Sakashita-mon Gate
to the Inui-mon Gate,
is open during what is said to be the best times
to see cherry blossoms and fall leaves.
Now is perfect timing for those
who might have missed seeing Japan's beautiful
fall colors or if they simply crave more!

Another reason why now is such a big deal
is because it's the first time in one and a half years
to hold this event.
Up until now the area has been under construction.

Afterwards
The surrounding park and area of the palace grounds is simply beautiful.
So we recommend you not stop your visit there!
Make the best of such a rare experience
and explore it!
The palace grounds are massive,
you are likely to discover a place you may have never seen before.
