Beautiful, though a bit busier than expected. They could have done a better job of communicating which areas were open/closed. We walked quite a ways to see a specific part of the gardens only to learn it was closed. Otherwise, it was a very nice experience. Easy to find and navigate. Close to the trains and plenty of shops & places to eat.

My hubby and I visited the gardens on a rainy day and we enjoyed our walk through the gardens. There is a variety of flowers and trees to admire with flat walking surfaces (and some paths with slight inclines). There are a number of maps around the gardens which makes it easier to navigate and get your bearings. There are some historical buildings with history of their use/significance which adds to the experience. A very picturesque garden with historical significance. Well worth the visit if you're in the area and there are multiple entry/exit points. No tickets/entry fee is required.

Very impressive garden & a must visit spot in Tokyo. You don’t need an advance booking for visiting the east garden and there is an app you can download for free as the audio guide. Lots of beautiful scenes to see and cherish so make sure you allocate 2-4 hours to make the most out of your stay.

Beautiful tranquil gardens. Free entry but research what gate to enter by as most do not allow entry to the imperial site. Definitely worth wandering through. Beautiful contrast with downtown Tokyo.

Huge garden. I wish the weather was nicer when I went but it was cool enough to enjoy the long walk through the garden. Got to see guards and horses in fancy uniform. Some hilly areas so it feels like a hike. There is a security check but you can basically bring anything that's not dangerous. There are bathrooms and some vending machines at the entrance you can use.
