Osaka Castle

Osaka Castle is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Osaka, with its majestic main tower standing proudly at the center of the castle grounds, leaving a lasting impression. I visited on a clear morning, strolling along the moat surrounded by greenery and a historical atmosphere, as if traveling back to the Sengoku period. From the top of the main tower, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Osaka city, which is truly breathtaking. Inside the castle, there are numerous historical artifacts and war-related exhibits about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, offering rich and educational content. The facilities within the castle are well-maintained, with clear signage and multilingual audio guides, making it very friendly for international visitors. Visiting in spring allows you to admire the fully bloomed cherry blossoms, especially in the Nishinomaru Garden, which is a renowned spot for cherry blossom viewing. Osaka Castle is not only a haven for history enthusiasts but also a cultural attraction that should not be missed during your trip.
