The World's Most Expensive Real Estate

The Tokyo Imperial Palace occupies land so valuable that, during the 1980s bubble, its grounds were famously worth more than all the real estate in the entire state of California.

This massive park sits on the former site of Edo Castle in the heart of Tokyo. Even today, the value of this royal property remains astronomical due to its central location in one of the world's most densely populated cities. While the Emperor resides here, the public can explore parts of the historic East Garden. It serves as a rare, serene green sanctuary amidst the surrounding high-rise metropolis.
