Nijō Castle Review

an amazing castle which belongs to the former residence of the tokugawa shoguns. yes this castle is surrounded by wide moat and massive stone walls. it is truly beautiful with lots of ceremonial rooms which were embellished with paintings finished with gold, unfortunately these rooms forbids photography.

Beautiful ancient structure that showcases the ranks and ways the old Shogun ruled the city. Walking the gardens and seeing this structure in such beautiful shape is a must see.Don’t miss out on visiting this building as this is in Kyoto an iconic monument.

magical place, especially at sunset! come earlier to sit at the cafe and enjoy a matcha affogato :)

Nijo Castle in Kyoto, Japan is absolutely incredible! 🏯🌸 This historic castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's feudal era. The castle's architecture is stunning, with beautiful gardens and intricate details throughout. One of the highlights is the "nightingale floors," which make a chirping sound when walked upon to alert against intruders. Inside, you can explore the opulent palace rooms adorned with exquisite artwork and sliding doors painted by famous artists. The castle's serene atmosphere and rich history make it a must-visit destination in Kyoto. Have you had the chance to visit Nijo Castle? 🏯🌸

A complete and historic castle.

Take off your shoes in the palace! The outdoor temperature is 6 degrees, the indoor is lower, the ice feet are so cold that it is impossible to look good, and I ran out after turning quickly, but it is worth a visit.
