During the time of the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, in the Edo Period, the Nijo Castle was built, only to be completed 23 years later by the grandson of the firs shogun. This 275000 square meters houses gardens, ruins of palaces, and concentric fortifications; all amounting to Nijo castle being one of the the best surviving examples of Japanese architecture, and known worldwide as one of the few Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto from UNESCO.

The forested hills surrounding Kyoto offer a tranquil escape into nature, where ancient trees rise above moss-covered stones and sunlight filters gently through a dense canopy of green. These woodlands, nestled at the city's edge, evoke a timeless serenity, with winding paths, whispering bamboo groves, and the subtle scent of cedar and earth. Birds call from above, and hidden shrines or torii gates occasionally appear through the foliage, blending nature with centuries of spiritual presence. Whether in the soft mist of morning or dappled in golden afternoon light, the forests around Kyoto embody the quiet soul of Japan’s natural beauty and cultural depth.
