Osaka Castle 🏛️

#2024wish Today just had a historic day exploring Osaka Castle! 🏯 For 600 JPY, the entrance fee was a bargain given that it allowed me to travel back in time into Japan’s wonderful legacy. 💰 The castle is a breathtaking view – with beautiful gardens surrounding it, this stands out as the exact balance of grace and power. The view from the top is amazing – you see Osaka’s skyline and feel how this castle was important for defense. 🌳🏰 Within, the museum displays samurai armor suits and weapons along with various artifacts to afford a glimpse into Japan’s feudal times. The interactive displays help keep the interest of history buffs and normal visitors as well. 🗡️🎎 Nishinomaru Garden is a beautiful place to walk around – especially in spring, when cherry blossoms create even more charm. 🌸 Nearby is Osaka-jo Hall which often holds events and the park around would be great for a picnic. There are food vendors near the castle where a passerby can pick up some fine street snacks after exploring. 🍡 #OsakaCastleAdventure #HistoricWonders #JapaneseHeritage #CastleViews
