Nijo Castle
二条城
4.4Est. 120Kyoto, Kansai
UNESCO World Heritage Site
During the late March cherry blossom festival, book evening light-up tickets online 3-4 days ahead, as weekends sell out. Otherwise, the main draw is the Ninomaru Palace’s ‘nightingale floor.’ Walk slowly on the cypress corridors to hear the deliberate, high-pitched chirp of the security alarm.
Local tips
Walk slowly through the corridors to fully appreciate the mechanics of the nightingale floors beneath your socks.
