UNESCO Nijo-jo Castle VR360 Walk | Kyoto, Japan

Experience a VR360 walk through Nijo-jo Castle, one of Kyoto’s most important historic landmarks and a component of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto.

Nijo-jo Castle was built under Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun. This video follows a walk from the southeast corner turret and Higashi Ote-mon Gate to the Kara-mon Gate, the entrance of the National Treasure Ninomaru Palace, the rear garden area of the palace, and Ninomaru Garden.

The rear garden area of the Ninomaru Palace is normally accessible only through a separate paid guided tour, offering a closer view of the palace buildings from a different side.

The Ninomaru Palace interior can be visited, but photography and video recording are not allowed. Inside, visitors can see a life-size display recreating the scene where Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Tokugawa shogun, announced his decision to return political authority to the Emperor in 1867.

Ninomaru Garden, located on the west side of the palace, is designated as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the Japanese government. Together with the palace architecture and historical setting, it makes Nijo-jo Castle one of Kyoto’s most significant World Heritage landmarks.
