The Imperial Palace East Gardens Closed for the first time in 30 years since Tomorrow 17:21 on March 27 to prevent the spread of infection
To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Imperial Household Agency will temporarily close the Imperial Palace East Gardens from the 28th. Higashi Gyoen has been closed for the first time in 30 years.
The Higashi Gyoen Garden has been built as a garden attached to the Imperial Palace, such as the ruins of the former Edo Castle. At this time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, tens of thousands of visitors come a day, but the Imperial Household Agency has decided to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection. For this reason, the garden will be temporarily closed for the time being from the 28th.
The Imperial Household Agency has canceled public viewing during the cherry blossom season on the Imperial Palace Inui Street, which has already been scheduled for this month, has stopped accepting public visits to the Imperial Palace, and is taking measures to close the Sannomaru Shozokan.
It is the first time in 30 years that Higashi Gyoen has been completely closed for a long time since it was closed for nearly five months in preparation for the Daijosai in 1990.
