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! 🙏🏻 #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

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! #unforgettableexperiences #momentssg #scenicspotguide #japan

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

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.
