Nike-Udun

二階御殿

Nike-Udun was regularly used by the king. Built on uneven terrain, the structure had two floors on the north side and one floor on the south side. The interior on the second floor was designed like a Shoin drawing room, with a Tokonoma alcove and Chigaidana shelves.

It was constructed in 1765 and additions were made on the south side in 1874. Female attendants used the first floor, which also functioned as a storage area. The main rooms were on the second floor called Ushimeju-Udun.
