Hello! It's me, Navio.
On today's article, I am going to share some beautiful photos of this amazing creature, which happens to be Tokyo Imperial Palace East Garden Moat's guardian.
Yes, it’s a swan! A one big majestic swan! You can find it hanging around the moat near the Big Gate of Imperial Palace's East Garden.
The Japanese word for "swan" is 白鳥 (Hakuchou) which literally means a white bird.
I was very lucky that the weather was clear, and the majestic swan came out to eat.
I think that this is my first time ever to see a swan in Japan, and I managed to see the Imperial Swan, which was nice.
The staff of the garden will fill the swan's food box, located on the side of the moat, so please don't feed the swan.
You don't want to make this beautiful animal sick, right?
Make sure you come by the East Garden the next time you visit the Imperial Palace.
The nearest station are Ootemachi Station, C13B Exit :)
