二条城
The "most central bailey", containing the keep, was called "honmaru" (本丸), and the second and third were called "ni-no-maru" (二の丸) and "san-no-maru" (三の丸) respectively. These areas contained the main tower and residence of the "daimyō", the storerooms ("kura" 蔵 or 倉), and the living quarters of the garrison. Larger castles would have additional encircling sections, called "soto-guruwa" or "sōguruwa". At many castles still standing today in Japan, only the "honmaru" remains. Nijō Castle in Kyoto is an interesting exception, in that the "ni-no-maru" still stands, while all that remains of the "honmaru" is the stone base.
