Nijo Castle
The palace building now known as Ninomaru ("secondary castle"), was completed in 1603. It survives in its original form and is famous for its unusually ornate interiors and floors that squeak like nightingales when someone walks on them (a security measure against intruders).
The floors were carefully laid so that the cramps and nails below the floorboards would rub together and squeak gently when disturbed.
