Explore Nijō Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a small-group tour limited to 10 guests with a knowledgeable local guide. Enjoy a relaxed and engaging experience with opportunities to ask questions along the way. Meet your guide outside Exit 1 of Nijōjō-mae Station and discover a castle designed not for battle, but for power and prestige. Learn how the Tokugawa shoguns ruled Japan from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) while asserting authority beside the Emperor’s residence in Kyoto. Walk through Ninomaru Palace, where architecture reveals strict social hierarchy. Listen to the famous nightingale floors and stand in the historic room where, in 1867, Tokugawa Yoshinobu returned power to the Emperor, marking the end of the shogunate.
