“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.”
― Franz Kafka
If you’re in Osaka, a stop at the Osaka Castle is a must. The history and beauty are breathtaking. Being the symbol of the city, it brings the entire cultural origin alive with the presentation.
Despite the fact that the castle we see today was rebuilt, it has been done in a great manner that it accurately reflects the origin. The grounds surrounding the castle offers a great walk, and you can enjoy the view of the castle from different angles. I wish I could be there at spring when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
As is often the case with any other sightseeing spots in the city, there are a slew of tourists trying to capture that instagrammable photos, so come early if you want to avoid the crowd.
