Description

Follow in the footsteps of the samurai on a guided tour of Osaka Castle!

After meeting up with your guide, begin the tour at Osaka Castle, a symbol of the feudal era, the Japanese period dominated by the warlords and the samurai. You'll visit the museum in the main tower, recounting epic battles and legendary figures such as the shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Next, enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the observation deck.

You'll then stroll through the peaceful Nishinomaru Garden, a former samurai residence, known for its cherry trees and stunning view of the castle.

The tour will continue through Osaka Castle Park, a lively and bustling place, where locals enjoy sporting activities in a historic setting.

You'll make a stop at Miraiza Osaka, a historic building that once housed the headquarters of the Imperial Army, and the city's former museum.

Finally, you'll visit Hokoku Shrine, a place of remembrance dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his family to conclude this tour, where you can continue your exploration of Osaka at your own pace.
