OSAKA CASTLE PARK
Osaka Castle Park (大阪城公園, Osaka-Jō-Kōen) is a public urban park and historical site situated at Osaka-Jō in Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan. It lies on the south of the Ōkawa (Kyū-Yodo River) and occupies a large area in the center of the city of Osaka. This park is the second largest park in the city.The park was constructed on a site with a long history. In the fifteenth century, a militant temple, Ishiyama Hongan-ji, was built here. In 1583, Toyotomi Hideyoshi destroyed Ishiyama Hongan-ji and built Osaka Castle here. From 1870 to 1945 the Osaka Imperial Arsenal used a large area, and it was destroyed at end of World War II. In 1931, Osaka Castle Park was opened to the public, but most of the area was used by the Imperial Japanese Army. After World War II, most of the military complex was removed and replaced by the public urban park.
In the park, there is Osaka Castle Hall, a large athletic field, baseball field, football field, open-air music theatre, open-air concert hall, and Osaka Castle Keep Tower. From the top of keep tower, the vista includes Osaka Bay to Mount Ikoma, which surround the Osaka Plain. Many busking groups perform in the park. In spring, cherry blossom and plum blossom viewing is popular at this park.

Osaka Castle, alias "Kim Cities" or "Kim Cities". Located in Osaka Castle Park, Central District, Osaka City, Japan, it is listed as three Japanese cities alongside Nagoya City and Himeji City. In the era of unified Taoshan, Toyoson was the center of Toyoshi's Jucheng and Toyoshi regime. Later, Tokugawa Kakang eliminated Toyoson's family in the two battles of Daegu. Since then, the Edo Shogunate has taken Daegu City as an important stronghold for controlling the name of Western Japan. The circumference of the city such as Guo Hancheng is about7.8 kilometers, which is comparable to the early days of Edo City.
Osaka City is one of the three famous cities, also known as "Kim City" or "Kim City", you can choose to take the elevator or take the stairs to the 8th floor of the observatory, from the observatory to the entire Osaka street view. In addition, from the Tianshou Pavilion Observatory, you can see the "Gold 𩾇" shape decoration at the end of the eaves, and then visit each layer of displays, which is easier to visit Tianshou Pavilion. Other floors have different exhibits, such as the mini model of the summer array, the original size restoration model of the favorite golden tea room of Fengchen Xiuji, the museum store on the first floor, and a small amount of handwritten letters as a souvenir. In addition, Osaka Castle Park is one of the famous cherry-watching attractions, with different seasons, autumn ginkgo, winter plum blossoms, and different styles.
When I visited Osaka a few years ago, the Osaka Castle Park Tianshou Pavilion was still under renovation and conservation. When I visited in July 2023, I could buy tickets to visit the venue. The history of Toyoson's and Tokugawa's is displayed in the Dashou Pavilion. The eighth floor is the top-floor observation deck, which can enjoy the view of Osaka City in 360 degrees. I visited early that day, I didn't have to queue up to buy tickets. When I was ready to leave, there were tour groups after groups. If you are free, it is recommended to go early to save queue time.
Osaka must go to attractions, autumn weather is the most suitable, not hot or cold, in addition to the magnificent buildings, you can also enjoy maple leaves and ginkgo trails 👍🏼
Osaka Castle Park is conveniently located and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, especially in Osaka Castle Park in spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the aroma is overflowing, very romantic 💐
