Ninomaru Palace in Nijo Castle, Kyoto, Japan.
In spite of the meaning of this word which means “secondary part,” Ninomaru Palace staged a couple of the biggest incidents in history to be the most important part of the castle. It’s the venue where Tokugawa Shogunate, the last samurai government, was established, and overthrown after 265 years in exactly the same room.
