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.

It must be said, the park in front of Osaka Castle is really beautiful! Although the area is not large, the attractions are first-class and exquisite. 🤣 We took the subway to Morinomiya Station🚉, entered Osaka Castle Park🏞️ from there, passed by Toyokuni Shrine⛩️, strolled to Osaka Castle's Tenshukaku🏯, checked in, and then took a small train to Osaka Castle Station (note that the JR station and the subway station are not the same, you need to get off at the second station for JR!) 🏯Tenshukaku: The Tenshukaku is located inside Osaka Castle, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and is a famous castle known throughout the country, symbolizing Osaka. It served as a watchtower and lookout tower in military terms. At the same time, it was also the residence of the castle lord. Visitors can climb to the top for a view, but the number of entrants is limited, so you may need to queue outside when it's crowded. We didn't go inside for a visit! There were quite a few people in line, and I miss the QR code reservation system of domestic attractions in China. 🥲 🍃The forest paths in the park are cool and refreshing, the weather was great on the day we went, the moat water was very clear, and Japan's care for cats and dogs is visible everywhere, which is touching. 🥹 🐦‍⬛There are really a lot of crows in the park! Flying all over the woods! ⏰Visiting time: 1-3h 🎫Admission: Tenshukaku 800JPY 🔛Opening hours: Tenshukaku 9:00-17:00 (last admission time: 4:30 PM) Park 24h 🚇Transportation: Direct subway🚇 to Morinomiya Station, enter the park from the entrance on this side of Morinomiya Station Take the small train🚂 from Tenshukaku to Osaka Castle Park Station (around 400JPY)

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.
