OSAKA CASTLE
Osaka Castle
is Osaka's most famous landmark. The gardens around Osaka
Castle are very popular in cherry blossom season.
Osaka Castle (大阪城 Osaka-jō) a
Japanese castle, Osaka's best known sight, although it's a concrete
reconstruction that pales in comparison with, say,
Himeji Castle. Still, it's
pretty enough from the outside, especially in the cherry blossom
season when Osakans flock to the castle park to picnic and make merry.
Open 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, adult admission ¥600 (Children up to
middle school free). Closed at the end and beginning of the year. The
park can be accessed on a number of lines, but the castle is closest
to Osaka-jo Koen station on the JR Osaka Loop Line.
