(13) Ninomaru Palace, Nijo Castle, Kyoto

(C)T.Okamoto

Nijo Castle was built as a temporary residence in Kyoto by Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate which lasted for nearly 300 years. The Ninomaru palace, Karamon Gate and beautiful Ninomaru garden are well worth seeing. The nearest station is subway Nijojo Station.
