Kyoto -- Nijo-jo

We couldn't resist checking off another UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kyoto's Nijo Castle.
Entrance gate of the outer wall

I purchased our entry tickets, we crossed the moat,...

...and entered the outer gate.


The castle keep



The elaborately decorated Chinese-style inner Karamon Gate leading to Ninomaru Palace. 


Beautifully detailed!!
