Historical Sites to Visit in Osaka

📍Osaka Castle is one of the most famous historical landmarks in Osaka, attracting numerous tourists. Visiting Osaka without stopping by here is almost like not visiting Osaka at all.
📍Osaka Castle has a long history dating back to 1583 during the era of Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It has since become a unique and renowned symbol of the city.
📍The castle interior consists of 8 floors, showcasing the history of Osaka Castle through various artifacts and artworks. The 8th floor, the topmost level, offers a 360-degree observation deck with panoramic views of Osaka. Historically, this floor served as a watchtower during wartime.
📍The castle is situated in the middle of Osaka Castle Park, a large public park where visitors can enjoy walking, relaxing, or exercising.
📍The distance from the park entrance to the castle itself is quite far. If you prefer not to walk, you can take a tram for 300 yen per ride.
📍The recommended visiting times are in the morning before noon or around 3-4 PM when the weather is cooler, and the lighting is perfect for photography.
