Autumn 2026 Public Opening of the Imperial Palace Inui Street

About this event

The Public Opening of the Imperial Palace Inui Street is a precious opportunity to walk through Inui Street, which is normally closed to the public, for a limited time. The Autumn 2026 opening will take place for 9 days from Saturday, November 28 to Sunday, December 6. Entry is permitted from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with exits by 3:30 PM. The route begins by entering through the Imperial Palace's Sakashitamon Gate, passing in front of the Imperial Household Agency Building, and exiting through the Inui-mon Gate, covering approximately 750 meters. The street is lined with trees such as Japanese maples (Irohamomiji) and Trident maples (Tokaede), allowing visitors to enjoy autumn foliage. Near the Inui-mon Gate exit, a temporary information desk set up by the Chiyoda City Tourism Association will feature stationed tour guides introducing nearby recommended spots. Additionally, a rest area with food trucks will be open in front of the National Archives of Japan for a limited time, making it an ideal place to take a break.
