Nijyojyo Castle was built by "Shogun" TOKUGAWA Ieyasu in 1602. Ieyasu defeated ISHIDA Mitunari, retainer of Hideyoshi, in 1600 and he practically started to govern Japan. The purpose of Nijyo Castle was to prepare his residence in Kyoto when he came from Edo (curent Tokyo).

The palace building was the historical stage when Edo Bakufu, which is the name of TOKUGAWA Ieyasu's heredity government, started and at the end of Edo Bakufu.

Currently, only twelve ruins of castles remain their main buildings and five of them are designated as the national treasure of Japan. On the other hand, only four ruins of castles remain their palace buildings. Nijyo Castle is one of four castles and is the only castle which palace building is designated as the national treasure of Japan.


"Karamon" Gate is said to be built in 1626. The gate has very gorgeous decorations and is designated as important cultural properties of Japan.

英語版のサイトに二条城のページをアップデートしました：
http://www.geocities.jp/hande_japan/index.html

日本にある現存天守は12城ありますが、江戸時代の御殿が残るのはわずかに4城しかありません。
そのうち御殿が国宝に指定されているのは、この二条城だけです。

家康の征夷大将軍宣下の場となり、徳川慶喜が大政奉還を各藩の重臣に告げた場所。
江戸時代の始まりと終わりを見届けた二之丸御殿が残ります。
