Google Verified Seller

• World Heritage Site Nijo Castle x Japan Academy Award-winning director's immersive theater "Shirogeki"• Special nighttime viewing experience of the National Treasure Ninomaru Palace• Projection mapping that depicts cherry blossom petals with light

Honmaru Yaguramon Gate | The light shining on the surface of the moat reflects the ripples and is reflected on the Yaguramon Gate. As the water and the images resonate with each other, the greenery of the garden and memories of nature overlap with the cherry blossoms, enveloping you in the flow of time that has lived in this castle.

Ninomaru Palace, a National Treasure | We will be holding a special nighttime viewing of the Ninomaru Palace, shrouded in tranquility. The "authentic beauty" of the original handicrafts, such as the gold-painted screen paintings and architectural designs, will be displayed in a different light than during the day, allowing you to experience the depth and tension of this historic space even more deeply. Experience the unique charm of nighttime views of this prestigious space, including the Great Hall, which was used as a venue for official meetings and is known for being the place where Tokugawa Yoshinobu declared his intention to return power to the Emperor.
