Was macht diesen Ort besonders?

Auf einen Blick

Die Burg Nijō in Kyoto ist eine UNESCO-Welterbestätte, die in der frühen Edo-Zeit als Kyoto-Residenz der Tokugawa-Shogune erbaut wurde. Sie ist bekannt für ihre prächtigen Tore, den Burggraben, die Nachtigallenböden und die wunderschön erhaltenen Palastgebäude und Gärten.

Warum du gehen solltest

Nijō Castle was built in the early Edo period as the Kyoto residence of the Tokugawa shoguns.

Nijō Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its preserved palace buildings and gardens.

In 1867, the last shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu returned power to the Emperor in this very palace, ending over 260 years of samurai rule and transforming Japan forever.

The palace floors were designed to chirp like nightingales when walked upon—a security system that made it impossible for intruders to sneak through the corridors undetected.

Wissen Sie es, bevor Sie gehen

Arrive when the castle opens at 8:45 AM to experience the famous nightingale floors in the Ninomaru Palace with fewer crowds, as these security floors squeak when stepped upon and the effect is best appreciated in a quieter environment.
Be aware that the Ninomaru Palace is closed every Tuesday in January, July, August, and December, while the Honmaru Palace closes on the third Monday of every month and the following day, so plan your visit accordingly to see both palace interiors.
Visit during cherry blossom or plum blossom season to see the castle's dedicated groves of these trees in bloom, as the extensive grounds include special areas planted with both varieties that enhance the historical atmosphere.
Walk slowly and listen as you cross the nightingale floors; the chirping sound is one of Nijō Castle's signature features.
Allow time to explore both the palace buildings and gardens, since both are specifically highlighted as preserved attractions.
