Yesterday was overcast with light rain, so we spent the whole day shopping at the outlet. Today, the weather finally cleared up, allowing us to visit the must-see attractions of Osaka Castle Park and the main keep.
After having breakfast at the hotel, we took the subway to Tennoji Station. From there, it was a short walk to Osaka Castle Park. The park is free to enter, and as we stepped in, we were greeted by lush green pine trees. Since it wasn't the season for autumn leaves yet, the foliage was predominantly vibrant green, with only a few leaves starting to turn yellow.
Even though today wasn't a workday, there were still many tour groups visiting, especially foreign tourists. There were also local kindergarten groups led by their teachers, resembling little flocks of ducklings—absolutely adorable. 😄
Although the sun was out, the wind was quite strong. Many visitors were dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos, taking photos to capture the moment.
After exploring the main keep, we visited the Miraiza Museum, which had plenty of souvenirs for tourists to purchase, as well as Japanese-style food for visitors to enjoy a break. We bought some souvenirs and left feeling very satisfied, with lots of beautiful photos taken.
