Built in the early 17th century, it boasts beautifully preserved palace buildings with intricate designs and "nightingale floors" that chirp when walked upon. You can explore the Ninomaru Palace, stroll through the traditional Japanese gardens, and enjoy the cherry blossoms in spring or colorful foliage in autumn. With its rich history and stunning architecture, Nijo Castle offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's feudal past.
