What other travelers are saying about Osaka Castle Park
To be honest this is just a tick mark visit. The castle itself from outside has a great look but the overall time it takes to reach and explore is not worth it especially the visit inside is a waste. It has a small museum and an observatory but nothing of historic or cultural significance. I would give it a pass .
The site is majestic.
We went there to visit the Castle but found it was closed due to New Year Holidays.
It was good that at least we were able to enter the area, we took very nice pictures and learnt a lot about it just by reading the information posted outside the castle.
Visited during the Shogun & Samurai Illumination event and it was definitely a spectacle to see!
To be in such a special place and combine it it scenes iconic to the culture was beautiful to see.
Tickets were 3000 yen per adult and it was worth it.
There were food vendors also and the patrons were very kind in the queue to take pictures.
Went on November 20+ 2024, weekends.
It was definitely beautiful since it was i think peak autumn leaves. Ginko trees were very yellow and pics can't do justice 😅
We stopped by beef on stick and 100 yen pancake along the way and relaxed on nearby bench going inside the castle, wish we brought towels to sit on the grass
Great place to go for a run in the park around the Castle or just relax. Castle is just beautiful to look at. Lines to get in can vary a lot longer on weekends and holidays.
