Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle

The castle tower of Osaka Castle, which is a symbol of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's prosperity, is currently in its third generation. It was rebuilt in 1930, and the inside is now a museum with many valuable materials on display.
Many of the exhibits are related to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the 8th floor, the top floor, also serves as an observation deck, and the view is spectacular on clear days. You can get a panoramic view of the city of Osaka, and maybe you can get a little taste of the feeling of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who once unified the country here.
