From there took train to Temmabashi.
OSAKA CASTLE (大阪城)
Originally built in 1583, Osaka Castle has been destroyed many times. The current structure, with concrete reinforcement, rebuilt in 1931, is a faithful reproduction of the original.
Not only is Osaka Castle a visual stunner, it is also a place of great historical significance, because it played an important role in the unification of Japan that happened in the 16th century.
Osaka Castle Park, a 106 hectares gorgeous multi-use space with lots of green, surrounds the castle. Across the moat, at the site of the former western citadel of the castle, is the Nishinomaru Garden, with hundreds of cherry trees. With an abundance of cherry, apricot and plum trees, the diverse flora promises beautiful displays in both spring and fall.
The park and garden are a sight to behold during cherry blossom season! Also a wonderful time to visit is fall, when leaves change color.
It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Japan and a Must Visit.
The castle houses a museum with over 10,000 historical artifacts, which will give you a deeper insight into the prominent role Osaka played in Japan's history.
The castle grounds, which cover approximately 61,000 square metres (15 acres), contain thirteen structures that were denoted as "important cultural assets" by the Japanese government.
