Fujimi-yagura
4.4
(165)Fujimi-yagura is a historic, three-story watchtower located on the Imperial Palace grounds, standing on its original 17th-century stone base. It's one of the most iconic surviving structures of the former Edo Castle, and after the main keep was destroyed in 1657, it became the castle's representative tower. While you can't go inside, its white plaster walls and green-tiled roofs make for a striking silhouette.
