Ang Kastilyo ng Edo, kilala rin sa pangalang Kastilyo ng Chitoda ay isang patag na kastilyo na itinayo noong 1457 ni Ōta Dkan. Ito ay matatagpuan sa Chiyoda sa Tokyo, na dati'y nagngangalang Edo, Distrito ng Toshima, Lalawigan ng Musashi. Itniatag ni Tokugawa Ieyasu ang Shogunatong Tokugawa rito. Ito ay ang tirahan ng shogun at ang lugar ng shogunato. Ito rin ay nagsilbi bilang ang kabiserang panghukbo noong Panahon ng Edo ng Kasaysayan ng Hapon. Matapos ang pagbabakasyon ng shogun at ang Panunumbalik ng Meiji, ito ay naging ang Palasyong Imperyal ng Tokyo. Ilang mga pader, mga pangharang na tubig at mga nagsasanggalang na pader ay makikita pa rin sa araw na ito. Ngunit ang kastilyo ay mas malaki noong Panahon ng Edo na kung saan ang Himpilan ng Tokyo at ang bahaging Marunouchi ng lungsod ay nasa lugar ng pinakamalayong pangharang na tubig. Naging bahagi rin ng kastilyo ang mga bahaging Liwasang Kitanomaru, ang Tanghalang Nippon Budokan at iba pang mga pook na pumapaligid sa lugar. Credits to: Jaden Lois Tilano.
