Kyoto Gosho was built for a shogun and then used as the Imperial Palace of Kyoto. In the corner of the grounds stands Nijo Castle.
In this section of the castle are famous nightingale wooden floors. Wooden floors are laid and after a hundred years or so they begin to creak like the sound of nightingales. Due to the heavy traffic flow there has been discussion as to whether or not to ban the public from walking on them. So far, the decision remains to share the floors with the public, although no shoes, no running, and as always.....be respectful!
Outside of a business........and why?? Don't know! Just gave us a laugh.
