The Palace also features an archive, several museums and administrative offices in its premises. The entire area occupied by the Imperial Palace is 1.15 sq kms which also includes the gorgeous gardens.

The Palace along with the famous Kokyogaien National Gardens make up for the most green area in the city. There is a long trail of 5 km inside the Palace where joggers come every morning either for a walk or run. There are three main parts of the Imperial Palace grounds - the Imperial Palace itself, East Garden, and Kokyo Gaien National Park.
