an amazing castle which belongs to the former residence of the tokugawa shoguns. yes this castle is surrounded by wide moat and massive stone walls. it is truly beautiful with lots of ceremonial rooms which were embellished with paintings finished with gold, unfortunately these rooms forbids photography.

Beautiful ancient structure that showcases the ranks and ways the old Shogun ruled the city. Walking the gardens and seeing this structure in such beautiful shape is a must see.Don’t miss out on visiting this building as this is in Kyoto an iconic monument.

magical place, especially at sunset! come earlier to sit at the cafe and enjoy a matcha affogato :)

A complete and historic castle.
