If you're a tourist in the city, there's a pretty good chance you'll be checking out Osaka Jo (Osaka Castle).
The castle's importance in shaping Japan’s history makes it one of the most famous landmarks in the country.
If things like the samurai and bloody siege warfare spike your interest, then Osaka Jo is definitely worth seeing.
The castle lies well protected behind giant stonewalls, moats and turrets. These interesting structures sit on 15 acres of land that are freely accessible to the public. Put on a good pair of walking shoes and prepare to spend a few hours checking out the castle and the castle grounds.
Getting to Osaka Jo is easy – just ride the JR Loop Line to Osakajokoen Station, and follow the signs to the castle grounds. To read more information about Osaka Castle in English, click here.
