Nijo Castle in Kyoto is a UNESCO World Heritage site built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period. Inside, you can see beautifully decorated rooms and the famous “nightingale floors” that make soft chirping sounds when you walk on them. The large Japanese garden offers peaceful scenery that changes with each season. It is a great place to learn about Japan’s history and enjoy traditional architecture and nature.

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
