It was? —wwoods 05:41, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It most certainly was not.  The destroyed main keep was never rebuilt. Uly 01:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I vaguely remember that Edo Castle, in its fully expanded form, was standing up until WWII.  It was destroyed in the firebombing campaigns and never rebuilt because the US saw it as a possibly dangerous nationalist symbol.  I'm not absolutely sure when the main keep is destroyed, though, and the reason it's not rebuilt is also possibly just an opinion of some historian. Uly 20:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there anyone living in Tokyo who could possibly provide a detailed description of the palace? --WoodElf 07:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean the actual building itself, or the imperial palace gardens (including multiple buildings), or the whole area including the accessible east garden etc.? See :commons:Category:Edo Castle and subcategories for a whole list of images. -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, a writeup on the different buildings and gardens in the palace compound would be nice.--WoodElf 07:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's some material at the Japanese wikipedia article we can use. --WoodElf 06:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  How big? Moved question from article 

message: Were any parts of the grounds used by military (either US or allied) after the end of the war?  I just noticed on Japanese mapping service Goo that you can bring up historical aerial photos, as well as current satellite.   The photos from 1947 and 1963 show what looks like a very large housing complex in the East garden area.  Could this be similar to the Washington Heights housing area for the army in Yoyogi Park?
Link to goo historical picture here then click where it says 昭和38 (showa-38 - the year 1963) just above the top edge of the map.  You can also click 衛星・航空 (which is 4 links to the left of showa-38) to see present satellite.

thread_title:  Post War History 

message: I've changed the layout of the article to match the layout on the map provided; it should make things a bit easier.
I've also divided the history section, as there is more than one palace to talk about; and the connection between the palace and the Edo castle was a bit obscure. I trust everyone is OK with this. Moonraker12 (talk) 17:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: The article says the palace grounds are 7.41 square km, but looking at a map or satellite view, the whole area fits in a 2 x 2 km square with room to spare, so it's more likely closer to 3 square km. Anyway, a source would be good. --KFP (contact - edits) 22:13, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Area? 

message: It would be nice to have more information and pictures about the actual modern palace that was erected after the war in the sixties. From what i could see it seems to be an interesting (if maybe somewhat bland) mix of sixties architecture/style and traditional japanese aesthetics. Does anyone know more? Apart from the official palace there is also the private residence of the current emperor that was built in the early nineties, but the only pictures i could find are of the outside from official state visits. 141.48.182.175 (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The outline shape on the infobox map encloses only the Nishinomaru/Fukiage area, whereas this article covers the larger area that includes the East Garden, Kōkyo-gaien and Kitanomaru Park. I don't know how to fix it. Nurg (talk) 08:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
