Kyoto 2025 NAKED Moon Viewing

Nijo Castle

A symbol of the Tokugawa shogunate's authority during the Edo period, Nijo Castle is renowned for its magnificent architecture, elaborate decoration, and tranquil Japanese gardens.

This year's Nijo Castle Festival combines this traditional beauty with Naked's cutting-edge art, transforming the entire castle into a fantastical stage of light and art. If you're looking to experience both history and modern art during your trip to Kyoto, Nijo Castle is a special place you can't miss.
