Nijo Castle: Guided Tour in English

The imposing Nijo Castle was built as a residence for Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1994. Get up close to its fortifications, palace, gardens, and walk along the 'nightingale floors' – which creak like birds when walked upon to detect assassins or thieves. Once you've bought your tickets separately for Nijo Castle, you'll be taken inside for an exclusive tour and get access to parts that other visitors don't get to see!
