Wadakura Fountain Park & the Imperial Palace / 和田蔵噴水公園と皇居

And our walk continues from the Shin Marunouchi Building to the Wadakura Fountain Park and the Imperial Palace. It was still hot and humid and I thought the fountain would make us cooler - it didn't. But enjoy these pictures and short video clip.

散歩が皇居外延の和田蔵噴水公園につづきました。外はまだ暑くて、噴水の近くで涼しくなるのかなと思ったら、涼しくなりませんでした。でも写真と動画を楽しんで見て下さい。










Mikako appears briefly at near the end of the clip.



















The Imperial Palace surroundings
















One of Japan's top tourist spots - the bridge that leads to the Imperial Castle. You can find postcards of the bridge all over the place.


Main gate to the Imperial Palace. If I remember right, it's opened to the public on New Year's Day and on the Emperor's Birthday.


Mikako is actually featured in this picture. She's sitting in front of all those trees.




And before heading home, I took a picture of the Tokyo Tower.
