皇居 Tokyo Imperial Palace

Tokyo Imperial Palace is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo.

Unfortunately, 桜田門(Sakurada-mon) was under the restoration.

This is 二重橋(Nijūbashi = Nijubashi Bridge).

You can come up, however, can't enter.

A beautiful piece of scenery.

Very wide!

peaceful.

Enter from 大手門(Ōte-mon)!

Though it is admission free, you are passed the admission ticket.

Just walking is so comfortable.

魚匠 銀平 @ Ginza

Lunch is 魚匠 銀平(Uosho Ginpei) @ Ginza.

Because of the very popular restaurant, I recommend the reservation.

You pick up one from five menus for lunch.

It is "Otsukuri Gozen", "Tempura Gozen", "Yakizakana Gozen", "Nizakana Gozen", "Kaisendon Gozen", "Tenjyuu Gozen".

If your choice is "Yakizakana Gozen" or "Nizakana Gozen", you choose your fish at first.

The waiting time is also fun.

We reserved a Japanese cozy tatami room this time.

"Homemade Soy milk Nabe Tofu" is so soft and yummy♪

"Plum Tororo Soba" has nice bite feeling.

Tempura is appetizer for "Yakizakana Gozen", "Nizakana Gozen".

Sashimi is appetizer for "Tempura Gozen".

Tada!

This is the friend's choice "Yakizakana Gozen"!

So gorgeous!

It's my "Nizakana Gozen".

A plum adds good flavor.

His "Tempura Gozen".

Um...wonderful!

This is "Ohitsu".

It is a container for steamed rice.

The rice was so delicious.

Tsukemono makes your mouth refresh.

It's very good for the steam rice.
