Osaka Castle is definitely worth seeing. Maybe only once, but definitely once! The park is beautiful and the castle is stunning, though from reviews on here, I opted not to spend the money to go inside. The homeless people in the surrounding park are kind of a downer, but that's kind of expected in a huge city. There were samurai... more

Osaka Castle is situated in a massive park complex that compliments the original concept, and allows the visitor to experience every aspect of the layout. You can walk for miles in any direction, and climb to the castle at your leisure through centuries-old, very gradually sloping gardens...all for free. It's only when you get to the castle that you are... more

Osaka Castle is a must see if you are in the Kansai Regio. We were there for a short while and enjoyed the people in Osaka. For being such a large city, it sure is safer than any other city its size in the world. Good public transportation system as well. Osaka Castle was not far from where we stayed.... more

(大坂城・大阪城, Ōsaka-jō?) is a Japanese castle in Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan.

The view from the top was worth the money and the scene around the castle is interesting enough to make it worth a... more

I went in mid March 06. If I were to go again it would be a few week later as the trees begin to bloom. The outside grounds are very interesting and the city view from the castle is excellent. Take time to read the english description. I did not go inside, the outside grounds, exhibitionsand people watching were enough... more

Have visted the castle once and probably wouldn't go there again. The park area outside of the castle (in March there are lovely plum blossoms), is a nice way to spend a couple of hours. However once you go inside the castle it is quite disappointing. I didn't like how the completely modernized it. It didn't even feel like I... more

大阪城は駅からは、非常に歩きます。やはり外堀が非常に大きいため、天守閣まで行くには約15分くらい歩きます。外堀の所に、1... more
