Osaka Castle Main Tower (Osaka Castle Museum) Review A fine example of detailed craftsmanship with a tremendous history and culture. The view from the 8th floor comes with the climb up the stairs (there is an elevator if needed). You can book on arrival, but it's cheaper to reserve using an online app. It was busy but still not overcrowded, and there was enough time to see the art, videos, and architecture of this magnificent building. It is a very nice castle suitable for visiting both day and night. Osaka Castle is a landmark that encapsulates both history and modern allure. Climbing up to the castle tower, you can look down upon the majestic scenery of the entire city of Osaka and feel the pulse of the city and the weight of history. Inside the castle tower, there is a museum that showcases the rich history and culture of Osaka Castle. From Toyotomi Hideyoshi's quest for unification of the world to the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, each floor tells a different story. In spring, the cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle Park add a soft hue to the ancient castle walls. Their light illuminates the castle tower at night, turning it into a shining pearl in Osaka's nightscape. Moreover, there are many food and shopping places around Osaka Castle, enriching the travel experience. Whether you are a traveler with a deep understanding of Japanese history or a tourist seeking beautiful scenery and leisure, Osaka Castle is a place worth visiting.

On the first day in Osaka, in order to avoid the crowd, I specifically went to a lesser-known attraction - the Osaka Museum of History. There are two differences from domestic museums. 1, Japanese museums are not free, tickets are purchased at the front desk on the first floor. 2, Osaka Museum of History does not need to be reserved. The Osaka Museum of History is next to Osaka Castle Park, which is an easily overlooked attraction. Take the subway to Tanimachi 4-chome, and you will see the Osaka Museum of History and the NHK Osaka Broadcasting Bureau building when you come out. The museum is not large, starting from the 10th floor, you can visit from top to bottom in turn, and you can overlook Osaka Castle Park at the corner of the stairs. The museum fully introduces the development process of Osaka from the earliest Namba to becoming an international city step by step. Some exhibition halls also have children's archaeological interactions, and there are immersive restorations of ancient Osaka streets. You can reserve 2 hours for a visit, or you can visit it on the same day as Osaka Castle Park.

Colorful Autumn in Osaka Castle Park. As a major city in Japan, Osaka has basically become a must-visit place on a trip to Kansai. Some people come here for shopping, some for Universal Studios, and the aquarium, but because they come here, they still hope to experience this city in multiple dimensions, so following the Osaka tour card becomes the best choice. ☀Check-in location this time: Osaka Castle Park ☘️Recommended gameplay: 1. Osaka Castle Tower is definitely a must-visit. It's beautiful to overlook the entire Osaka Castle from above. 2. The Osaka Castle Nishinomaru Garden in the park is also a famous place for maple viewing. Don't miss the maple season. 3. Friends with plenty of time can go to the Osaka Castle Goza Ship. If there are many people on the day, you can get the boat ticket in advance, and then consider whether to go to the castle tower first according to the time. We waited for a long time, thinking that we could go around the castle tower, but in fact, it was a very small area of water. It's not a pity for friends who don't have enough time to give up. The park is very beautiful during the maple season, suitable for slowing down and feeling slowly.
