Osaka Castle in Spring

Osaka castle is difinitely main tourist attraction in Osaka. Currently, this castle is used as a modern museum that tells story about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's journey. It's located in west of Osaka. It has 8 floor and I recommend you to go to level 8. You can see Osaka city from up there. Entrance fee is about 600 Yen, but if you had Osaka Amazing Pass, just show it to the ticket counter and you'll pay nothing. In early of April, when the sakura blooms, a lot of locals will gather here and hanami under the sakura tree. There are 600 sakura tree in Osaka Castle, just imagine how beautiful it is if you come in Spring. If you want to visit Osaka Castle, better to come early as the weather is nicer in the morning and less crowded. You can also feel the experience of becoming a Japanese soldier by renting japanese war costume for some extra fee. #osaka #japan #awesomepic #urbanexplorer
