Joined 2014
The castle is located in the center of Kyoto city and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. It was originally built in 1603 as the official Kyoto residence of the first Tokugawa Shogun,Ieyasu. Nijo Caslte is one of the finest examples of early Edo period and Momoyama culture in Japan, as it makes splendid use of early Edo period building designs, lavish paintings, and carvings that Iemitsu generously commissioned. In 1867, when Yoshinobu, the fifteenth Tokugawa Shogun returned soverignty to the Emperor, the caslte became the property of the Imperial family. Inside Ninomaru Palace Yoshinobu summoned the coultry's feudal lords and declared that soverignty would be restored to the Emperor. There are two Japanese gardens.You can enjoy the bearutiful scenary.

“Day tour in Kyoto”
We had a fantastic day with Toshiyo in Kyoto. Toshiyo showed us many historic sites and was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was also very patient with our big group of 9 people on public transport. We had a wonderful day!

“Day private tour around Kyoto with Toshiyo”
We had a fanulous day- we were both a little tired and unwell but Toshiyo took us to the Bamboo Forest, some amazing Shrines, The Golden temple & Nijo Jo Caste- we had an absolutely delicious lunch in a little noodle cafe. Toshiyo went to the Pharmacy with us to help us find some much needed decongestives. Thankyou Yoshiyo we had the very best day️️ :)

“A perfect half day in Kyoto”
We had a great time with Toshiyo, learnt a lot. We could have changed the route as she prepared some alternatives. Toshiyo is a very nice, helpful person and communication before and during the trip was perfect.
