We will start going to Osaka castle, as the park surrounding the castle is huge and can be tiring to walk, please note that it is possible to take a shuttle to go directly to the castle (there is usually no shuttle service the first Thursday of every month). You will learn more about the rich history of Osaka Castle, intimately linked to the history of Japan. If and only you wish, we will go inside the castle which serves as a museum on the history of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, a man who changed the destiny of Japan.

About Osaka

Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen, a big-hearted port city of neon canals, street food and a grand castle, with Kyoto, Nara and Kobe close by.

Dotonbori, the canal-side entertainment strip, is the city's beating heart, its giant mechanical crab and glowing billboards reflected in the water. Nearby, the covered arcades of Shinsaibashi and the kitchenware street of Doguyasuji draw shoppers, and Kuromon Market tempts with seafood, wagyu skewers and fruit.

Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
