A castle in Osaka The three major Japanese reputations are Osaka, Hikone and Nagoya. Along with Himeji and Kumamoto castles, the fortress was restored to modern times, although it is one of the "three most famous names in Japan."
Located near Osaka JR Nishihon Osaka Fantasy Station, Tanimachi Yonchōme Station, Morinomiya Station, Tanimachi Line Tenmabashi Station and Nagahoritzumi Rumi Ryokuchi Line Osaka Business Park Station are located nearby. The castle itself is more than 600 meters away, so it takes a while, but it is perfect for a walk. If Chun Soo-gak is for the purpose, Osaka Business Park Station is the closest. Especially in spring, the scenery peaks with cherry blossom trees around it.
Since it is one of the biggest castles in Japan, you can get tired of just going around once. According to the Osaka castle's exhibition data, it is possible that the current castle in Osaka may have been reduced to a considerable extent by Edo's uncle, but it is inconceivable how big it actually would have been if it had been scaled down.
Now, the Cheonsugak Pavilion in Osaka Castle is seemingly true, but it is a reinforced concrete structure that has an elevator. Although its appearance is splendid, the fourth floor is actually the Tokugawa period and the fifth floor of the Toyotomi-era Cheonsugak, which is a rare combination of the two-story structure. So in Japan, they say only the exterior is a castle and the interior is modern. Since the exhibition space inside is somewhat poor in the contents of relics and photography is prohibited, it may be better to visit the Osaka History Museum nearby. The museum itself is run by the Osaka city government, and the exhibition is poor, but the exhibition is quite excellent.
Near the old Osaka City Museum building, the headquarters building of the 4th Infantry Division, originally located in Osaka Castle, is now used as a souvenir shop and restaurant. It is okay to walk around Osaka Castle, except for Cheonsugak Pavilion. Almost all descriptions of relics are in English, and there are relics with explanations of Hangeul. However, there is an English version of the book that is offensive to some Korean sentiments, but there is no Korean version. There are also quite a few exhibits about the Battle of Osaka, especially a folding screen depicting the Matsudaira Tadanao unit's assault on a unit of Sanada Yukimura and a miniature work that reproduces it.
In addition, there is also a screen explaining the true picture of the Osaka Battle Summer that Nagamasa Kuroda allowed Koreans to draw, explaining each of the pictures of the armed forces who participated in the Battle of Osaka Castle in the late Japanese national era, which is unfamiliar to Koreans, and because it is well explained in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. Just looking at the explanation for the painting, it is worth 600 yen. However, because of the nature of the museum, many visitors pass by because they are bored because the explanation passes slowly.
The park is just free of charge, but you have to pay the admission fee to get into Cheonsugak Pavilion. Admission is 600 yen for adults. Free for middle school students or younger (needs to show identification). Photographs are not possible on the third and fourth floors of the Chunsugak Pavilion.
When you arrive at the entrance to Osaka Castle's Cheonsugak Pavilion, you can see elevator lines and staircases. Naturally, elevators have to wait quite a while and stairs are immediately accessible. The stairs are quite steep, so it's hard to climb, but I recommend this road to get there quickly. When you walk along, you can see the scenery on every floor instead of walking at once. Looking inside, history of Osaka Castle and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's past. You can enjoy the same stories on a hologram and see various artifacts.
If you want to see the true face of Japan's castle, let's go to Himeji Castle, which takes about 40 minutes at JR Nishinihon Sinnihon, or Hikone Castle, which is a little minor but more well preserved. In Kyoto, there is Nijo Castle, which is registered as a UNESCO cultural heritage, but since the Nijo Castle’s Cheonsugak has been destroyed, you cannot enjoy the splendor of Cheonsugak Pavilion.
Meanwhile, if you want to enjoy the moat around Osaka Castle, you should use Osaka Business Park Station rather than Tanimachi Yonchome Station. The number of people passing by is very small, so it is easy to get in the way of taking pictures, and you can take pictures from far away. Gojabune, Osaka Province, is also far closer to Osaka Business Park Station, where visitors can take a boat to see the moat in Osaka Castle. The subway station is also closer than the direction of Othemon.
Because there are many foreign tourists from Asian countries who are not familiar with Japanese language, the female guide smiles and blocks them instead of instructing them not to enter a place where they are not supposed to go because of internal repair. It's quite embarrassing.
On the side of Osaka Castle, there is a statue and a shrine. The main character of the statue is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was the owner of the castle.
At the end of August every year, the Osaka Castle Lantern Festival is held, which combines a searchlight that reflects the castle and a lantern wishing for it to create a fantastic spectacle. It will also hold a contest for Osaka restaurants from 2010. It is one of the must attend festivals because all the famous restaurants in Osaka, famous for their taste, are held in a contest.
Inside Osaka Castle Park, there is a large Osaka Castle Hall that can accommodate 16,000 people, so major concerts are frequently held. Since 2015, the New Japan Dominion, the largest PPV in the first half of the new Japanese pro wrestling, has also been held around June every year. Due to the dome-like appearance, many Korean tourists are mistaken for the Osaka Dome. The station close to Osaka Castle Hall is Osaka Business Park Station on the Nagahoritz Rumi Ryokuchi Line.
