History

Buildings

The imperial complex consists of 330 buildings for use by the Imperial Family, governments officials, the Imperial Guard and several tourist attractions. The interiors of some buildings are kept highly secret as a matter of national security, however the general layout of the complex is public knowledge. In addition to these structures there are also several helipads on the grounds for receiving visiting heads of state and for occasional use by the Emperor.

Gates

There are six gates through which the imperial complex can be accessed. The main entrance consists of three consecutive squares or plazas, each of which can be sealed off from the next.
