Nijo Castle

Nijo Castle represents the absolute power of the shoguns in Kyoto. It is with this in mind that Nijo Castle (Nijo-jo in Japanese) was built. Designed in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu and completed in 1626, it served as a Kyoto home for shoguns of the Edo period.

Ginkakuji Temple

The Silver pavilion is more sober than its illustrious colleague but it is worth the visit for its pretty building, its Zen garden and its view of Kyoto.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Philosopher's Walk

This path is close to Ginkaku-ji and we can take it when we leave to end the day in style. The name of the promenade dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, named after the philosopher Kitarô Nishida (1870-1945) who particularly appreciated it.
