Sisters! Osaka Castle Park is really beautiful, but there are also many minefields waiting!
Although Osaka Castle Park in winter is very atmospheric, the moment I stepped into the trap, I almost lost my soul. This guide to avoid pitfalls is for everyone who is planning to go there. Be a smart traveler and don't suffer any loss.
🗓️Itinerary:
If you go to Osaka Castle Park in December or January, the maple leaves and cherry blossoms have already gone, leaving only bare branches. If you are a girl who goes there with the intention of taking beautiful check-in photos, you may feel a little disappointed in this season.
Tips: If you go there in winter, you can mainly take pictures of the castle and the snow scenery (if you are lucky enough to have snow). The castle has a great feel both during the day and at night.
The queue at the castle tower is too big
The castle tower is the core of Osaka Castle, and many people come here, but the experience of queuing in the middle of winter is really terrible. My hands are so frozen that I can’t even hold my phone!
Tips to avoid pitfalls: Buy your tickets online first to save time queuing, or go early in the morning when there are fewer people and you can grab a good spot for taking photos.
The restaurants in the park are not cheap
See a small cafe or ramen shop in the park and think you can warm up and fill your stomach at the same time? Wake up sisters, the price is ridiculously high and the taste is just so-so!
Suggestion: There are many small shops around the park that are cost-effective and authentic, such as Ichiran Ramen or a convenience store where you can buy some hot snacks, which are cheap and delicious.
The cold wind is too painful
The winter in Osaka is really terrible, especially in open areas like parks, the wind is extremely strong).
Survival equipment: down jacket + scarf + hot pack (this is the standard equipment for Osaka Castle in winter). Don’t forget to bring gloves and a hat, otherwise your nose in the photo will be as red as Santa Claus.
Osaka Castle Park is definitely worth a visit, but don’t let the pitfalls ruin your good mood!
Make a good strategy, bring your equipment, avoid the above minefields, and you can enjoy it safely.
