There is some major news in Kyoto about Nobunaga's Nijo Castle. It seems there was a third moat that has been recently discovered. Nobunaga built Nijo for the 15th Ashikaga shogun Yoshiaki in 1569. However, the shogun rebelled against Nobunaga in 1573 and the Uesama banished Yoshiaki later that year. If it the archaeological diggings proved to be correct, Yoshiaki built the third moat for defense against Nobunaga's attack. It did not matter in the long run since the shogun lost power and was banished from the capital. Nijo Castle fell into disuse and later some of its materials were used to build Azuchi Castle.
