Saturday: Imperial Palace's East Garden

Hey :)
Today I wanted to go to the Imperial Palace and it’s East Garden. I read that the palace itself is open only 2 days a year so didn’t go there :D Garden was free to visit, though.
The East Garden was huge and there are quite a lot of photos this time so I’ll just type some explanations every once in a while! Let the pics speak for themselves.
