Nimomaru gate
Nimomaru is the internal palace which was the residence of Shogun. We penetrate by crossing this door there. It is not possible to take photos inside. The most remarkable in this palace are the floor says 'nightingale', because it is conceived so that slats scrape against each others when we walk above. The produced sound is close to the song of the nightingale, what was very effective to detect the intruders.
