Istana Osaka


Osaka Castle is one of my favourite places to escape the crowds and breathe some fresh air. Although the original 1583 structure completely burned down last century, it’s been fully re-constructed and re-furbished. The interior of the castle presents eight stories displaying a great collection of documents and artifacts. The castle grounds are especially lovely during cherry blossom season in early April, but if you missed it, the park is always great for a stroll and a picnic, at any time of the year.
