What other travelers are saying about Osaka Castle
Incredible piece of history and culture. A must visit, for sure. Unfortunately you couldn't take pictures inside so you had to remember everything you read, but otherwise the place was made into a modern museum, which to be honest I didn't like as much. But the building from the outside still looked incredible and the garden is also super beautiful
Iconic and breathtaking though the castle is smaller than i thought. The complex itself with the park is rather huge! Seeing and entering the castle from the north is way better with less people and better angle! Entering the park itself is free while going into the castle cost ¥1,200. there weren’t that much to see inside the castle, not necessary to go in!
Osaka Castle is truly a breathtaking historical landmark. I visited yesterday, and the experience was incredible. The castle's stunning architecture, surrounded by serene gardens and scenic moats, made for a picture-perfect setting. The views from the top were spectacular, offering a panoramic glimpse of Osaka’s skyline. Inside, the museum provided a fascinating look into the castle's rich history. It was a perfect blend of culture, history, and natural beauty—definitely a must-visit in Osaka!
We really enjoyed our visit to Osaka Castle. The grounds were immaculate, and the castle itself was huge. The architecture was stunning. We did not tour the inside, as we were just happy to wander about outside.
It is one of the main attractions when you come to Osaka, the park surrounding the castle is spacious and respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The castle looks magnificent from the outside, but to be honest, if photos are what you are after and not a history lesson, then it is not worth paying admission to go into the castle as inside is just modern interior and is a bit claustrophobic and touristy.
