Former residence of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in Kyoto, this UNESCO World Heritage–listed castle is renowned for its “nightingale floors” that chirp underfoot, its stunning mural paintings, and beautifully landscaped gardens. It’s an essential site for anyone wanting to step back into the Edo period.

Entrance fee:
– ¥800 for the gardens only
– ¥1,300 with access to the Ninomaru Palace

Touristy? Very touristy. A major historical landmark in Kyoto, visited year-round.
