Kyoto Nijo Castle 🏰

Besides admiring the exquisite paintings and architecture, Nijo Castle is more of a historical reconstruction. 🌸🍃 Looking up at the vast, cloudless sky, the layers of castle walls and cypress trees form a series of screens that complement each other perfectly, creating a unified whole. Over time, this presents a kind of historical illusion, as if you can hear Tokugawa Ieyasu giving orders on the other side of the wall. 🌸🍃 This is also due to Kyoto's restrictions on high-rise buildings within the city. Inside Nijo Castle, you can't see any structures outside the castle walls. This regulation enhances our immersion, allowing us to walk the same paths as historical figures and gaze upon the unchanging scenery that has lasted for centuries. 🌸🍃 In today's world, where modernization is pursued by every city, Kyoto's commitment to preserving its traditional appearance and reconstructing history is truly commendable. #Kyoto #NijoCastle 🌇🌟
