Japanese city Kyoto is to open Nijo Castle for meetings, conferences and events later this year.
The 400-year old attraction, a UNESCO World Heritage site, will start taking bookings from the start of next month.
Kyoto Convention Bureau’s international marketing co-ordinator James Widgren said: "We are incredibly lucky that so many of these historic venues are willing to open their doors to the meetings and events industry, allowing business visitors from around the world to enjoy their unique offering.
"Nijo Castle is a truly unusual space, it will allow organisers to think creatively as they develop events following the Castle’s opening later this year."
