The Imperial Palace: The Imperial Palace is only open to the public twice a year. Once on the Emperor's birthday (Dec 23) and once in the New Year (Jan. 2) the rest of the year you can only visit the outer gardens. So I took this New Year's opportunity to see what there was to see.

My sidetables made out of Oak and designed and built by me.
