Osaka Castle Tower, a must-see attraction for learning about history

#Osaka Attractions
Osaka Castle is really big. You have to walk more than 1 kilometer from the subway station to actually enter the castle tower. Each castle in Japan generally has its own style based on the different types of "Ishigaki", "Ote", "Kageyo", "Hazama", "Shasha", "Hafu", and "Tenshu". Among them, the "castle tower" is the most important and representative one in the castle.
The castle tower here was built in two periods, the Toyotomi period and the Tokugawa period. The one you see now was rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate. You can also take a "Gozabune" to tour the moat here. It is said that the moat here is 34 meters high and is the tallest wall in Japan. There are floors 1 to 8 inside, and I was quite surprised that the interior has been remodeled to the point where it no longer resembles an ancient city at all.
