I am currently trying to do the application process and will be in Tokyo from Oct. 27-31, but the place is closed from 10- 31 stating that it was for a special occasion? Is there any way that I can get around it? What is the special occasion?

Considering that ANA has cancelled many flights around that date due to possible air congestion at Haneda, with all the diplomatic flights landing an d taking off, I think your chances of seeing the Imperial Palace are less than zero.

Maybe go and see something better? For a long time the palace wasn't open to the public and it was one of the more over-rated destinations in the city.

I loved the Imperial Palace, but I'm a history and politics geek. As simply a pretty place to look at, there are many better.
The other thing I loved with my history and politics geek hat on is the Diet. We got a (free) personal tour with an english speaking security guard-we followed the main tour around-and it was great. The Marunouchi Tourist Bureau rang ahead for us on the morning, and arranged the time.
