Osaka Castle is the glistening star that watches over Osaka. We visited in the morning to try and avoid the crowds, though there were crowds already starting to form that day. After waiting in line for tickets and once inside, the experience was still a bit crowded, but not as bad as if we would have waited even a few hours. The outside of the castle is much more impressive than the inside, with t...

Very beautiful castle. The whole place is huge so its a bit of walking to cover the entire castle ground and the surround park. It was totally worth to book the museum ticket early, otherwise you will have to wait to buy your tickets through a long long line.

stunning views, especially during the fall when the red and yellow leaves create a vibrant backdrop. The weather was perfect, making the outdoor experience even more enjoyable. Although I didn't get a chance to go inside due to the crowds, the castle's exterior and surrounding park are truly impressive. A great spot for sightseeing and appreciating nature's beauty!
