Kyoto Castle
between 1603 and 1626
This castle was built in 1603 by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu to protect the Imperial palace, and also as his residence when he visited Kyoto. It was considerably expanded in 1626. However, difficulties of maintenance led to some of the buildings being relocated or demolished, whilst the main keep burned down in 1750 and the Honmaru Goten (palace) in 1788.
