What other travelers are saying about Osaka Castle
I was visiting the Osaka temple on Monday 26 of August, am not saying it is good and not bad at all. The weather was a bit hot since August is the summer season in Japan. But the temple was so amazing the combination of the green white and gold makes the temple more attractive and stunning.
It’s a must for tourists to visit the temple in visiting Osaka. You will be able to see the history of the old Japan inside the temple. Lots of art and majestic costumes that Japan has been wearing back in the past. The people are so kind and helpful, there’s no regret to come and visit this amazing place.
Please be aware the lift is currently out of order so there is a lot of climbing of stairs to do to get to the top.
Lots to see on beach floor including videos.
If you buy the day pass for the subway for the Osaka subway - you get fast track queue to the ticket office rather than wait for 15minutes in the queue and you get a 10% discount on the entrance fee:600 yen for 540yen.
The train that takes you to and from uses a rather long route! Takes about the same time to walk! Cost 400yen.
Unfortunately really crowded during the summer, and to be honest the tourists there were the worst that I saw during my trip.
It's sad because the castle rampart is astounding and the overall castle with it environment are really neat to look at.
Still a nice (and cheap) experience.
Pretty stunning castle in Osaka. Free to walk around but you have to pay to enter the castle itself. We opted to walk round the grounds but that in itself was enjoyable.
There were a few toilets dotted around which I haven't seen at other similar locations which was good, and also a mini Lawsons nearby
One of the historical landmark that have to visit during came to Osaka. View is astonishing with the classic castle and there’s a canal along. Park surrounding the castle is great for strolling and nice walk or even picnic. If you have the Osaka Amazing Pass you can enter the castle for free. For those like to know more about their history can have a look inside. A must visit spot in Osaka.
