Right in the middle of the tall buildings, hectic and busy city, lies the hidden ancient gem called The Osaka Castle.
The place is easily reached by train and if you buy Osaka Day Pass, you get to enter at discounted price and cut the long queue. There is elevator and stairs to reach the top-observation place.
The view from here is totally breathtaking and I am gonna let my pictures do the talking.

Good place for exploring and exercise. Lots of walking is required but th view at the top is stunning. There are history of the samurai era. Video clips, storyboard, artefacts and many more. There is also quite a lot of nice souvenirs. I bought quite a few items. They also sell some of the popular snacks. I would have bought more if i had a bigger bag. This place is definitely a must on the visit list.

Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle is probably the most famous and visited place in the city of Osaka.
This castle has an observation platform with city views and a history museum as well. The location is quite convenient as it is in the hearth of the city's down town.
The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. The temple is really well preserved and is a pleasure to see in person.
The place and the location are very scenic for those who love photography.

Holiday Experience In Osaka Castle
Osaka is one of the main cities in Japan after Tokyo, and is located on the island of Honshu. The city may seem more modern and less traditional like Kyoto, for example, but it's still well worth a visit if you're planning a trip to Japan. Locals known for their hospitality consider their city, Osaka, to be one of the most relaxing cities in Japan. If you are a foodie then visiting Osaka is a great choice as it is one of the best food areas in all of Japan. Apart from culinary delights, you can also explore museums, galleries and amusement parks across the city. Osaka Castle is a symbol of Osaka and one of the largest castles in Japan. Osaka Castle is an important monument representing the great history of the Azuchi-Momoyama period during the sixteenth century. The castle was built in 1583 on the orders of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, one of the most famous unifying warlords in Japanese history. Once inside the castle, you can see a collection of weapons and artwork. There is also an observation deck on the 8th floor, where visitors can enjoy the views and gardens around the castle.

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.

The famous castle of Osaka!
Located in Osaka, Japan, the Osaka castle is an iconic landmark to visit if you are in the area! It is also very easily accessible from public transports.
Without a doubt, the castle looks magnificent! Together with the surrounding castle walls and sceneries, I felt that I have been transported back hundreds of years ago to the olden japan eras like in the movies!
The once upon castle is now turned into museum where can you learn about the history of the place. There is also a small admission charge to enter the castle/museum.
Outside of the castle, which is also called the Osaka Castle Park, is where you can just have a sit on the benches under the trees to enjoy stunning natural landscape of the area.
There are also many street performers where you can enjoy the amazing art they are showcasing.
I would definitely recommend this place for first time Japan visitors as it is the perfect place to marvel and experience the rich history of Osaka!

One Fine Day at Osaka Castle Park
Arguably Osaka’s most prominent landmark — the majestic Osaka Castle. This impressive historical site is located within a huge urban park in the heart of Osaka city. Every year, as winter melts into spring, beautiful plum and cherry trees blossoms flower in the park’s gardens turning the grounds into a vibrant wonderland. It was really an awe-inspiring sight! 🌸
There are a lot of activities you can do in the park area without spending any dollar — from running to cycling, or having a picnic with the incredible view of Osaka Castle. You can also see the skyscrapers of Osaka on the other side of the park. While you’re here, you can also draw an “omikuji” and try your luck! 🙏🏻

Sakura at Osaka Castle
An unforgettable experience which we went here were amazing because it’s time for the sakura. It’s very crowded but you can still have space during cherry blossom! This place exist since 15th Century.
The Great Osaka Castle Park
This park is the second largest park in the city of Osaka. The park was constructed on a site with a long history and believe it or not, they even provide Sport Facilities. Kudos!
When I previously went to Osaka Castle, I didn't go to Osaka Castles Park because we were running out of time. It was great to finally go around the park this time and just chill, buy some souvenirs, and check out the buildings around. Going around the park is actually free, but if you want to enter the main castle tower, you have to pay ¥600 at the auto-payment machine.
#wintergetaway
Blessed to visit Osaka Castle in a good weather with beautiful scenery. In early October, we could find a green, yellow, and red layered trees. From up above the stone wall, we could see beautiful Golden wasen (Osaka Castle Gozabun) flows along the moat.

A relatively magnificent ancient city, divided into the outer city river and the inner city river.
This time the local tour guide gave the most detailed and hard-working one. It also experienced the baptism of World War II.
American bombs also put Osaka Castle exploded all over. The city walls built by more than 100 tons of stones in Osaka
Castle were also bombarded by artillery, and the traces of repair were obvious.
#HalloTrip #Halloween
Halloween is in autumn. Reminds me of golden leafes which just coming out of trees in Osaka Castle. It was beautiful moment trip. We went to Osaka to visit family and had leisure together. During that moment sometimes we met people doing cosplay. Visitor could rent samurai costumes at the park.

Osaka Castle Park and Nagoya City are not too much difference
The historic Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and
is a magnificent building made of stone walls.
Osaka Castle Castle Tower is located in the center of Osaka Castle Park. It is magnificent and magnificent.
Come on the Castle Tower and overlook the entire city of Osaka.
The moat is built around the city wall, and there are beautiful gardens and pavilions nearby. Strolling along the river, the flowers are different, full of green, full of poetic and artistic.
The cherry blossom gate in the city is quite famous. In the same year, Osaka Castle suffered a fire. Only the cherry blossom gates made of megaliths stood innocent and became the only remaining remains.
This season's Osaka Castle Park is not as good as the cherry blossom season, encountering newcomers to marry, and having a star's battle. Osaka Castle is full of cherry trees everywhere, but the cherry blossoms are not the season, and several ginkgoes have an autumn color. The gardens and pavilions of Osaka Castle are beautifully landscaped, strolling along the river, full of poetry and paintings, and visitors to the castle tower.
🇯🇵 Osaka castle park | Mesmerizing view of cherry blossom 🌸
Osaka castle is surrounded by a huge park area and lake. Its such a relaxing experience to see the spectacular architecture of palace while strolling through blossom trees.
I strongly recommend you to wait for golden hour. The castle looked wonderful under sunset ray. There's also food vendors selling japanese dishes and snacks like takoyaki. Bring blanket to seat beneath the blossom tree like the locals would be awesome as the weather is cool and view is beautiful.
The route that we used was firstly dropped at (JR) Morinomiya Station> roamed around public park freely> castle ground> (JR) Ōsakajōkōen Station> (JR) Morinomiya Station> next destination. Now, i going explain why, since we have our shopping bags and dont wanna carry around too many things. We kept some our belongings in the locker at (JR) Morinomiya Station. If you have too many things to carry please use the locker!

Best of all, there's no entrance fee to enjoy this natural spectacle—it's free for everyone to enjoy! 🌸💫

Next, I hopped on a train to Kyoto, where I explored historic neighborhoods like Gion and Higashiyama, which were transformed into a sea of pink during cherry blossom season. 🚃🏮 The contrast of the blossoms against the traditional wooden buildings and cobblestone streets was simply stunning. 🌸🏯
One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the iconic Philosopher's Path, a picturesque walking trail lined with hundreds of cherry trees. 🚶♀️🌸 Strolling along the path, with the cherry blossoms gently swaying in the breeze and the sound of a nearby stream trickling by, felt like stepping into a fairytale. ✨🌸
In Osaka, I visited Osaka Castle Park, where I joined locals and tourists alike in hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, festivities. 🏯🌸 The park was alive with excitement, with food stalls selling tasty treats and traditional performances adding to the festive atmosphere. 🎶🌸

【Osaka Prefecture】I went to Osaka Castle Park to see the cherry blossoms early.
The weather was nice, so I went to Osaka Castle Park to see the cherry blossoms. It was before the official bloom announcement, so there were only a few here and there, but on the south side of the castle, there were cute pink and white cherry blossoms blooming🌸
【Access】
JR Osaka Loop Line Osaka Castle Park Station
【Fee】
Free
【Recommended Points】
I visited at the end of March, and there were several food stalls open. For those who want to enjoy an early hanami (flower viewing), you can use the food stalls, and since there are several convenience stores on the premises, I think there's no need to bring your own food.

#cherryblossom2024
😘🌼 While on our enjoyable holiday, I set out on an exciting journey to the lively city of Japan. The arrival of spring had brought a special charm to the surroundings, and we felt refreshed as we walked through the famous Osaka Castle Park. Discovering the luxurious landscapes of this beautiful sanctuary, we were mesmerized by the stunning views that greeted us at every turn.
Behold the mesmerizing sight of Osaka Castle, adorned with delicate cherry blossoms that blush in harmony with its grandeur. This enchanting view is nothing short of iconic. Embracing the castle, lies a vast park, where Nishinomaru Garden resides, boasting an impressive collection of approximately 300 exquisite cherry trees. A fascinating tidbit: the very sakura tree that determines Osaka's official spring blooming date can be found within these park grounds. To witness a truly awe-inspiring spectacle, we suggest visiting after sunset, when the majestic castle illuminates alongside the soft pink blossoms. Entry into the captivating Osaka Castle Park is complimentary, while a mere ¥350 grants you access to the enchanting gardens.
The opulent and enchanting sanctuary has left an indelible mark in the deepest corners of my mind. The sheer joy of returning and relishing each moment in this unparalleled haven is truly unparalleled. 🌺💕💮🌼#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip

√Osaka Round Tour Pass

🚢Business hours:
Osaka Castle Port Pier 10:15~16:15
(Friday, Saturday, Sunday only: 17:20/18:05/18:50)
Eating~Nothing much to recommend
Everyone should pay attention:
Good restaurants need to be booked in advance, ordinary restaurants can just go directly, many restaurants close early in the evening, and the serving is very slow. I feel that the cost of eating in Japan is still very high, and the variety of cuisines is not as good as my foodie empire Besides, the atmosphere is still pretty beautiful.
Alright~Babies, that's it for now.
