Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous landmarks. It played a crucial role in the unification of Japan in the sixteenth century during the Momoyama-Azuchi period. The Nishinomaru Garden in Osaka Castle, surrounded by important cultural properties, has a total of 300 cherry trees, mainly the Someiyoshino cherry trees. The stone wall made of stone engraved with the motifs of daimyo from various places at that time, and the five defensive turrets, including the Senkan turret that protected the castle, can only be seen in Osaka Castle Park, the contrast between the thickness of the stone wall and the gorgeous and light weight of the cherry blossoms.
Namba Yasaka Shrine
Visit Namba Yasaka Shrine, famous for its giant lion stage, mainly prays for studies, careers, and sucking away bad luck. In addition, the shrine also prays for feelings and health. Here, when the wind blows, you can also see cherry blossoms falling on the head like snow, which is the so-called cherry blossoms.
Dotonbori
The name “Dotonbori” generally refers both to the Dotonbori Canal and to Dotonbori Street which runs parallel to the canal’s southern bank. It is one of the most colorful areas in Osaka and an absolute must-visit location when traveling through Kansai region. Osaka’s obsession with food is often summed up with the expression “kuidaore” which is often interpreted to mean “eat till you drop” but actually means to spend so much on food that you fall into financial ruin! Dotonbori is said to be the best place in Osaka to experience this kuidaore style extreme love of food!
