How Baby-Friendly is Osaka Castle Park?

81%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 81% Baby-Friendly: Paved stroller routes, nursing rooms in Jo-Terrace and Miraiza, change tables and shaded benches help carers, yet strollers banned inside tower and gravel areas shake babies, so suitability stays high but slightly lower.

Felt like a cool mix of old samurai Jap...

It is recommended to book in advance to save on the tickets and waiting time. Much crowded and hence one needs to spend considerable time to go through the museum. One becomes part of the Japanese history. Must see. The gardens and the moat were impressive.

Even just wandering around the park outside was super chill. Beautiful gardens and you can really see h...
