Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan - June 11, 2026: A narrow asphalt path runs under a canopy of green trees in the Imperial Palace garden in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Dry brown leaves cover the ground on both sides of the path, and a row of rounded stones lines its right edge. Dense evergreen shrubs rise along the right side, while thin-trunked trees with bright green leaves fill the left. Further along, a curved branch arches across the path where it bends into the shade of the woods. The Imperial Palace, the residence of the Emperor of Japan, stands in central Tokyo surrounded by moats and gardens.
