If there ever was a time that you should visit Osaka-Jo, it would be this month.
Every Friday at sunset during July and August, the Osaka Municipal Symphonic Band performs their Sunset Concert. This has been an on-going summer tradition for 60 years, and is an excellent way to spend a summer evening. Admission is free.
Then, on August 27th and 28th, Osaka Castle plays host to an “Evening of Wind-instrument Music” performed by Osaka University of Arts students. This music event, starting from 6pm, is accompanied by 20,000 lit candles. The event has been put on to raise donations for the victims of this year’s tsunami, and is a worthy cause for your attention.
Getting to Osaka Castle from Umeda is easy. Board the JR Loop Line from JR Osaka Station, and get off at Osakajo-Koen Station.
