Osaka Castle
Click here for ABBA location of Osaka Castle 1-1 Ōsakajō, Chūō-ku, Ōsaka-shi, Ōsaka-fu 540-0002, Japan
 
Osaka Castle, an icon of Osaka is located 5 bus stops away from Sheraton Hotel. Regular bus service 62 takes one to the southerly entrance of Osaka.

From there, one has the option of taking a leisurely stroll or a ¥200 (for adults) electric tram shuttle in.

The grounds itself are relatively large with a few gardens surrounding the main castle. 

There’s a more modern-ish building located beside the castle which the first level houses souvenir retail shopping and light trendy eats and desserts.
The upper two levels are more posh restaurants whose selling points is the dining view of Osaka Castle. Often street performers maybe seen outside in the open areas.

Entrance for the castle is at ¥600. Apart from the 8th story view from the top, the rest of the interior has been retrofitted with air conditioning and to be a museum of the castle's history. Nothing really interesting and a bit dull actually.

In Autumn!

 
Osaka Castle’s beauty is best enjoyed outside and around the palace grounds rather than inside itself. Its beauty is especially enjoyed during the seasonal changes.
