Nijo Castle: A Glimpse into Kyoto’s Feudal Elegance 🇯🇵🏯

Nijo Castle in Kyoto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in 1603 as the residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Famous for its Ninomaru Palace with “nightingale floors” and beautiful gardens, it showcases the elegance of Japan’s feudal era.

📌Visitor Tips:

Arrive early to avoid crowds, use public transport (Nijojo-mae Station or buses from Kyoto Station), bring a camera for the gardens, note that photography is restricted inside the palace, and enjoy seasonal highlights like cherry blossoms in spring or autumn foliage.
