I loved Osaka Castle. The grounds around it (no admission required) were stunningly beautiful with blossoming plum trees in so many colours as well as a few early sakuras. The Castle itself was magnificent outside and had nice and impressive museum exhibition inside the castle. There also was a samurai surcoat, helmet and katana photo opportunity inside which was a cool souvenier.

Decided to buy an online ticket when I saw the line. Checkout was quick and easy and I got the mail right away. The QR code worked without any issues.

Ticketing experience was great. Used the app while in the long line. So I jumped out of line & went to the gate. No troubles. The Osaka Castle was so overcrowded that it was not a good experience.

It was great not having to queue up getting in Osaka Castle. We just went to the front of the line and scanned our QR code to get in.

Taking inspiration from the Taisho period, this attraction is an important historical heritage site, built in Ancient Japan. Explore Osaka Castle’s historical grounds at your own time and pace. This experience is one that shouldn’t be missed while in Osaka. In 1583, Hideyoshi Toyotomi began trying to build the Osaka Castle on the site of Ishiyama Hongaji, which was suitable to inhabit a ruler.

After the death of Hideyoshi’s death, the regime moved to the Tokugawa family and the Osaka Castle fell in 1615 at Osaka Natsunokin. This heritage site was then rebuilt under the order of the second Shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, which took around 10 years. This site played a major role as the base of the Western government for the Shogun. Featuring a spectacular light-up and Japanese historical treasures, this Osaka Castle illumination displays over 3 million colorful LED lights on a 300cm long picture scroll. Don’t miss this 430-year-old edifice in Osaka.
