Osaka Castle
The picture shows a Japanese style garden with a building as a background.
This shining building is the Osaka castle tower which was originated in
the 16th century.
Experienced many sufferings, the present building dates back to 1931 when
Osaka citizens donated billions of yen.
You can go up to the 8th floor by the lelevator to see the panoramic view.
Each floor shows interesting fact of the castle; the history of Lord Hideyoshi,
old Japanese swords and armours, and so on.
The castle has the vast area so you'd better find the best way to reach
the castle tower, otherwise you will end up with just walking around in
the compound.
