Osaka Castle!!

After we enjoyed the full taste of Japanese history in Kyoto, we headed to Osaka. Osaka is Japan’s third-largest city and the commercial and industrial hub for western Japan.

We still wanted to see a Japanese historical thing so we decided to visit Osaka Castle, which is one of the absolute highlights in Osaka. This castle was built in 1586 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The present five-storied fortress contains many historical art objects and documents related to the Toyotomi family and Osaka of the old.
