Japan Travels: We visited Osaka Castle 🇯🇵

#wheretogo We visited one of the most iconic historical building in Osaka, the Osaka castle. It was very grand and beautiful up close, we are able to touch the powerful and strong stone walls that built up the place. We visited in the early morning and it was packed with locals and tourists entering the castle area and explore the area, there is a huge wooden bridge that we walked on into the castle grounds. We walked around the castle surroundings and enjoy the gorgeous sight of it. There are many people queuing up to enter to the castle top where they can see the whole 360 view outside the castle grounds, the ticket cost around 600 yen. There are also a few small shrine temples and a mall to wander explore, but the site we love the most is the pond nearby where we can take a nice photo together with the castle at the back. We also walked around the park just right around the castle, with many tall trees and flora to enjoy the nature. We were able to feel the windy breeze inside the place and feels so calm. After our visit in the place, we saw a local bakery that sells delicious bread and coffees, it’s called Kobeya Fresh Bakery in Morinomiya JR Station, it’s only a 5 minute walk from Osaka castle. Many locals were seen enjoying the pastry there and we tried some of their speciality too, we recommend the melon pan and cream bun, it was really good! A perfect spot to rest after a long walk in the castle.
