Introduction

Osaka Castle Park surrounds the castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century; its keep, layered white walls crowned with golden shachihoko, is one of Japan's three great castles. The moat, stone walls and cherry-blossom gate preserve the Sengoku flavour, and in spring about 3,000 sakura make it among Kansai's finest hanami spots. The grounds hold the Nishinomaru Garden, Toyokuni Shrine and the castle museum; the top deck overlooks the city and the Yodo River. History, blossoms and skyline meet here, Osaka's most iconic landmark.
