Osaka Castle (Ōsaka-jō)

Osaka Castle (Ōsaka-jō) is one of Japan's most iconic historical landmarks, renowned as the magnificent castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. While the current main tower is a reconstruction, its imposing presence continues to captivate visitors. The interior has been transformed into a history museum, showcasing artifacts and models from the Sengoku period, including weapons and letters that were actually used. It is especially popular among international tourists, offering a fantastic opportunity to experience Japanese history and culture. From the top floor of the main tower, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka city, both during the day and at night.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this is a must-see spot and an essential part of any "#OsakaExploration."
