Osaka Castle Park

#japantrip In Osaka Castle Park, there are around 3000 cherry blossom trees! 🌸 By planting late blooming cherry blossoms in Yuzuokou, you can enjoy them until the end of the cherry season. The Tianshou Pavilion in Osaka Castle Park, surrounded by cherry blossoms, transforms the park into a stunning ancient painting. As you stroll through the park, you'll see many visitors capturing this picturesque moment with their phones. 🏞️📸 During the annual cherry blossom season, numerous tourists flock to admire the beauty. I visited Osaka City on April 5th, and the cherry blossoms were already in full bloom! It's a must-visit spot for tourists from all around the globe. Have you been there before? 🌸🌍 ⏰Cherry blossom season in Osaka Castle Park typically runs from late March to mid-April, from 9:00 to 21:00 (entrance until 20:30). 📍The park is located in Chuo-ku, Osaka City , Osaka Prefecture, just a 1-minute walk from Osaka Castle Park 🚉Station or Moriyama Station on the JR Circular Line. 🌸🌸🚶♂️ #flowerlover #osakacastle #osakacastlepark #Japan #mytravelhack#historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip

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

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

❤Recommended reason: Take the water bus to see the cherry blossoms at Osaka Castle, find a quaint little shop on the riverside, dine elegantly, and then hand in hand, we go to see the night cherry blossoms at the Mint Bureau Hand in hand One step, two steps, three steps, four steps looking at the sky Watching the stars one, two, three, four forming a line Wouldn't you want to experience such supremely beautiful romance? 👍Most recommended: √Osaka Round Tour Pass This not only allows unlimited rides on Osaka's city subways, municipal buses, and some private railways but also free access to 38 attractions in Osaka!! Like Osaka Park, cruise ships, and Ferris wheels are all available~ Osaka Water Bus Aqua Liner has multiple boarding routes, and tourists can board at any of the four piers, which is convenient and fast, and also allows you to enjoy more beautiful Osaka scenery through different routes. Passengers can take a boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. The night view is even more beautiful and is a highly recommended spot. The whole process takes about an hour, and you can enjoy the natural scenery here. 📍Boarding location: "Osaka Castle Port" "Yahataya Hama Pier" "Yodoyabashi Port" "OAP Port" Any one is fine ⏰Tour time: About 40 minutes 🚢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.

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 is located within Osaka Castle Park and is very popular to visit during the cherry blossom season. #christmasgiveaway #christmaslights #unforgettableexperiences #nyedestinations #travelinspiration

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

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. Park and garden is well maintained, toilet is also clean. #awesomepic #osaka #japan #osakacastle
