Kyoto - Nijo Castle

We visited this after the tea ceremony. It is a large castle in the centre of kyoto. The most interesting thing from the westerner point of view was the "Nightingale Walkways". These are corridors running alongside the reception rooms with the floors specially design to squeak. When groups aof visitors walk along them it sounds like birdsong. Of course the other handy thing about this is that it is very difficult for you enemy to silently sneak up on you.
