Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Main Tower of Osaka Castle is a key landmark building of Osaka that was built in 1583 and is also known as "Hideyoshi Castle". The castle interior has now been transformed into a museum that provides information on Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the castle's history, while the floor offers great views over Osaka. The castle is built on an elevated platform and features white walls with green tiles, while the end of each flying eave is adorned with a magnificent tiger or shachi formed out of gold foil . Every spring and autumn, the ancient charm of the castle is ever more prominent against the cherry blossoms or red maple leaves.

Osaka Castle 🏰 was a historical place many nice sightseeing view. When all the walk up to check the unblock scenery.
Amazing weather, slightly sunny but clear skies. Sights were interesting and insightful. There might be a queue as it is a popular tourist spot.
Looks very impressive, but it was a long queue to take the lift up. The exhibit descriptions were in Japanese so we couldn’t fully appreciate them. Just go for the nostalgia and history.
It is one of the most iconic castles in Japan and the only one with green hues to its design (from my recollection of all the castles I have visited in Japan). The park surrounding the is very beautiful and peaceful. This is located in the middle of the busy Osaka city so people and tourists could drop by to chill and enjoy the peace amidst the busy streets. Very minimal changes were noted from my visit in May 2016 and Nov 2019. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enter the museum on both visits.
The landmark of Osaka city. One of the best place to see the mable leaf. Explain the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. You can imagine how he felt when he stood on the top floor of the castle, while looking at his kingdom.
There is a long queue for on-site ticket purchases, at least an hour or more, through Trip.com ticket purchases, about a few minutes later, it is determined, the QR code is very convenient to enter the park. I hope Trip.com will make persistent efforts to build a global ticket purchase platform for Chinese people!
