Osaka castle is a modern reconstruction. It still looks very beautiful from afar but if you want the feel of a genuine wooden castle, with hidey holes and sword marks, then two of the finest examples in Japan are a short train ride from Osaka: Himeji-jo is huge, was used as the setting for the film Shogun and is one of the most impressive sites in Japan, Hikkone-jo is smaller and close to the beautiful Biwa lake.

However, it was burnt down during the war. The current castle is rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate. There remains no single piece of stone wall from the Toyotomi period. The castle has 8 storeys of which the 8th storey is the observation deck. Every floor shows different stories ... ...forget to go to the Osaka Castle Park.

Subway: Temmabashi Station or Tanimachi 4-chome Station on the ...
