World Heritage: Nijo Castle in Kyoto

Nijo Castle in Kyoto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that witnessed the rise and fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It was originally built in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu. The castle is most famous for its National Treasure, the Ninomaru Palace, which boasts lavish screen paintings and a unique "nightingale floor." The castle grounds also feature several elegant gardens, including the Ninomaru Garden, which offers stunning seasonal scenery—particularly the cherry blossoms in spring and the vibrant autumn leaves. Nijo Castle is not only a historical monument but also an important site to experience the architecture and culture of Japan's Momoyama period.
