Must-Visit Osaka Castle: Don't Miss the Tenshukaku! 🌸🍃🌊

One of Japan's Three Great Castles, Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, showcasing the exquisite architectural craftsmanship of the time and Hideyoshi's military wisdom. 🌟 🎢 After the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, the Tokugawa clan clashed with the Toyotomi 🍃🌺family in the Winter and Summer Sieges of Osaka. Ultimately, the Tokugawa emerged victorious, and the original Osaka Castle was lost to the flames of war. 🌇 🌿 Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt the castle on its ruins, and subsequent reconstruction efforts by Osaka City gradually transformed it into the present-day Osaka Castle Park. 🌺🍃 The Tenshukaku is a must-see! 🌟🌸 Ascending to the top offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Osaka Castle. 🍃🌺 Inside, you'll find exhibits detailing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's life, the history of Osaka Castle, accounts of the two famous sieges, and displays of ancient documents and armor. 🌊 🎢 Free night tour audio guides are available for rent. It's recommended to take the elevator to the 5th floor and then climb to the top, exploring from the upper levels downward. 🌇🌿 Note: The stairs inside the Tenshukaku are narrow and somewhat steep. If you're visiting with children or elderly family members, please be cautious. 🌺 🍃 At the entrance of Osaka Castle Park, there's a sightseeing train that goes directly to the castle for 300 yen—a convenient option to consider. 🌟🎢 Osaka Castle Park is open 24 hours and is free to enter. 🌊🌸 However, the Tenshukaku has an admission fee, and the last entry is at 16:30. 🍃🌺 Remember to purchase tickets online in advance and enter directly through Gate 2 to avoid long queues! 🌇🌿 #JapanTravel #Osaka 🌟
