Osaka castle(大阪城)



Do you know what castle n the picture is?
If you know about that, you will be a Japanese watcher.

The answer is Osaka castle(大阪城).
It is one of the most famous castles in Japan and the symbol of Osaka.

It was built in the end of the 16th century by the Japanese leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi(豊臣秀吉). But it has been burned down in the series of battles in the 17th century, and reconstructed later. Once again it was destroyed by fire and was reconstructed at last early in the 20th century. So it has been reconstructed 2 times.

If you are interested in history of Japan, you should go there.
Also i recommend you to go there in spring.
Because there is a park nearby and beautiful cherry blossoms can be seen.

It take only 1 hour by train from our hostel.
So you can enjoy a day trip!!
