Check out the Osaka Castle moat

#Osaka Attractions

Osaka Castle, a masterpiece of ancient Japanese castle defense engineering, is famous for its complex structure and strategic significance. It adopts the architectural layout of the kurokoku-style rope, with a secondary castle centered on the west garden and a main castle centered on the castle tower. This layout is not only beautiful, but also has strong defensive capabilities.

Osaka Castle, this historic castle, has an ingenious and layered layout. It consists of three main parts: the inner city (Honmaru), the middle city (Ninomaru) and the outer city (Sannomaru), each of which plays a unique role. In addition, the ingenious design of the city tower (called "驹") and the inner and outer moats further demonstrate the solidity and majesty of the castle.

The inner city, as the core area, is the location of the castle tower, and its inner moat adds depth to the defense; the middle city, located between the inner and outer moats, forms a circular defense area; and the outer city occupies a large space outside the outer moat, providing strong protection for the city's edge.

Osaka Castle is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is cleverly designed and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is definitely worth a visit! !
