Interesting building. The palace was built about 600 years ago by Shogun then it has been taking over by Royal family. Since then it has been renovated and repaired however you can see how Shogun and samurai warriors lived here.

Yamshita Park / Minato Mirai / China town
横浜/ 山下公園 / みなとみらい/ 中華街
Take an advantage of staying by HIBIYA line!
Hibiya Line actually connected to trains to Yokohama where is the next big city in the neighbor prefecture.
Change train at Nakameguro if the train terminate at Nakameguro. But connecting trains departs from the next platform which is right opposite to the train where you get off.
Get off the train at Minato Mirai or China Town.
My recommendation is taking a boat from Minato Mirai (MM21) to Yamashita Park, enjoy having Chinese lunch in China town which is right behind Yamashita Park.
