Nijo-jo (Nijo Castle), Kyoto City, Japan
Nijo-jo (Nijojo or Nijo Castle) is located western central part of the Kyoto City Japan. It is designated as a UNESCO world heritage site. It is one of the finest Japanese Castles.
The castle was originally built in 1603 as the official Kyoto residence of the first Tokugawa Shogun, Ieyasu. It was completed in 1626 by the third Tokugawa Shogun, Iemitsu, with the addition of some structures transferred from Fushimi Castle (built in Momoyama period; 1573-1614). Nijo Castle is one of the finest examples of early Edo period and Momoyama culture in Japan, as it makes splendid use of early Edo period building designs, lavish paintings, and carvings that Iemitsu generously commissioned.
In 1867, when Yoshinobu, the fifteenth Tokugawa Shogun returned sovereignty to the Emperor, the castle became the property of the Imperial family. In 1884, it was renamed the Nijo Detached Palace. It was donated to the City of Kyoto and renamed Nijo Castle (Nijo-jo) in 1939.
The castle was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

Nijo-jo Castle in Kyoto｜Japan Travel Guide｜京都・元離宮二条城の二の丸御殿や見どころを観光
Nijo-jo Castle in Kyoto,Japan.
世界遺産の京都の二条城に行ってきました！
本丸御殿は工事中で残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。
二の丸御殿や庭園は拝観できましたよ。
二条城は徳川家康が京都御所の守護と将軍が上洛するときの宿泊所として建てたものです。
派手できらびやかな唐門はたくさんの動物や植物の装飾が施されています。
ここを通って二の丸御殿に行きます。
二の丸御殿の大広間では徳川慶喜が大政奉還することを発表した歴史的な場所です。
二の丸御殿の中は日本絵画の狩野派によって描かれた障壁画があります。
廊下を歩くと鳥の鳴き声のようなキュッキュッという音がします。
これは「鶯張り」（うぐいすばり）と言って敵が侵入してきた時に気付けるようになっているそうです。
特別名勝とされている二の丸庭園は二の丸御殿大広間、二の丸御殿黒書院、行幸御殿から鑑賞できるように作られています。
天守閣は寛延3年（1750年）に落雷によって焼失しています。
石垣だけ残した天守閣跡はありますので、そこから本丸御殿や本丸庭園、京都の街を眺めることができますよ。
二条城はとても広くて見どころいっぱいの人気観光地でした！
広いので全部見て回ると結構時間がかかります。
アクセスは京都駅から京都市営地下鉄や市バス、電車（JR）でも行くことができますよ。
駐車場もありますが並ぶこともあるので公共交通機関がおすすめです。

Nijo Castle (二条城, Nijōjō) was built in 1603 as the Kyoto residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period (1603-1867). His grandson Iemitsu completed the castle's palace buildings 23 years later and further expanded the castle by adding a five story castle keep.
After the Tokugawa Shogunate fell in 1867, Nijo Castle was used as an imperial palace for a while before being donated to the city and opened up to the public as a historic site. Its palace buildings are arguably the best surviving examples of castle palace architecture of Japan's feudal era, and the castle was designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1994.
Nijo Castle can be divided into three areas: the Honmaru (main circle of defense), the Ninomaru (secondary circle of defense) and some gardens that encircle the Honmaru and Ninomaru. The entire castle grounds and the Honmaru are surrounded by stone walls and moats.
Visitors to Nijo Castle enter the castle grounds through a large gate in the east. English audio guides are available for rent (500 yen) at a kiosk just inside the gate. Venturing further into the castle will bring you to the Chinese style Karamon Gate, the entrance to the Ninomaru (secondary circle of defense), where the castle's main attraction, the Ninomaru Palace is located.
The Ninomaru Palace served as the residence and office of the shogun during his visits to Kyoto. Surviving in its original form, the palace consists of multiple separate buildings that are connected with each other by corridors with so called nightingale floors, as they squeak when stepped upon as a security measure against intruders. The palace rooms are tatami mat covered and feature elegantly decorated ceilings and beautifully painted sliding doors (fusuma).
Nijo Castle. Kyoto, Japan 【HD】
The Nijo Castle was built in the year 1626 as a residence for the Tokugawa Family. After 1867, the Castle became Imperial property and in 1939 it was donated to the City of Kyoto. Ever since then, this beautiful castle has been open to the public.
Basically, the fortification consists of one external moat and stone wall, the Ninomaru Palace and gardens inside of it, and an inner moat and wall keeping the Honmaru Palace and the respective gardens inside. This castle used to have a five-story turret, but it was destroyed by a fire in the year 1750.
Nowadays, this wonderful example of traditional Japanese architecture and art/decoration is visited by lots of tourist from Japan and many other countries.
In the video, first we see a small display of Chrysanthemum Flowers (Kiku-ka), then the Ninomaru Palace and its gardens, the Honmaru Palace and gardens and finally the general view from the place where the castle turret used to be.
