This is Osaka Castle in Osaka, Japan!
(Who would’ve thought? π
)
Osaka Castle is arguably the most famous castle in Japan! It is certainly an icon of Osaka and the entire region of Kansai,
making it a very popular tourist destination. The castle was
originally built in 1597, but the version you see today is actually not the original – the Osaka castle was actually destroyed numerous times due to battle and lightning strikes. However, it is so beautiful and cherished so much that it has still been rebuilt as needed. It’s viewed and respected for its resilience, as it actually survived the bombings of World War 2. There is actually a museum inside that you can pay to enter, but it’s entirely free to enter the castle grounds! This includes access to many gardens, some shrines, and an overall scenic area with the castle at the epicenter. For so much to see and do for so little, I totally understand why it’s such a highly visited place. What are your thoughts?
