The Imperial Palace (皇居<link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Articles_containing_Japanese-language_text"/>, Kōkyo; literal translation</span>"}]]}'>lit. 'Imperial Residence') is the main residence of the emperor of Japan. It is a large park-like area located in the Chiyoda district of the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo and contains several buildings, including the Fukiage Palace (吹上御所<link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Articles_containing_Japanese-language_text"/>, Fukiage gosho), where the emperor has his living quarters; the main palace (宮殿<link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Articles_containing_Japanese-language_text"/>, Kyūden), where various ceremonies and receptions take place; some residences of the Imperial Family; an archive; and museums and administrative offices.

The 1.15-square-kilometer (0.44 sq mi) palace grounds and gardens are built on the site of the old Edo Castle.
