Osaka Castle is one of those must-see spots that totally lives up to the hype!
The castle itself is stunning - massive, with that classic white and gold design, sitting right in the middle of a huge park.
The inside is more of a museum, but the real highlight is the view from the top, especially during cherry blossom season when the whole park turns pink!
It’s a great place to just wander around, soak in some history, and maybe have a picnic under the sakura trees if you're there in spring.
Super photogenic and a nice break from the city buzz!
