Moto-Rikyu Nijo Castle

▶Expand photo

This castle was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1603. The third shogun Iemitsu moved the remnants of Fushimi Castle here and extended the castle to its present size. It runs approximately 500 meters east-west and 400 meters north-south, and is surrounded by a moat. Toward the end of the shogunate, the castle was used as barracks for troops loyal to the shogun. And, it was here that Yoshinobu Tokugawa, the last shogun, announced the restoration of imperial rule. The Ninomaru palace complex (national treasure) is a representative example of samurai shoin-zukuri, or traditional style of Japanese residential architecture. The painting of pine tree and hawks by Tanyu Kano in the Yonnoma room is famous. The cherry blossoms too are famous and are illuminated at night each year. The castle was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1994. If requests are made at the entrance, wheelchair users can enter the Ninomaru palace complex (see the item on Ninomaru for details).
