Rising majestically at the heart of the vast 大阪城, 大阪城天守閣 offers spectacular views of 大阪城公園 and 大阪平野 from its 8階 observation deck. In the exhibition rooms, you can encounter authentic historical materials. Experience the appeal of the castle, the dramatic exploits of the samurai, and the rich history of Osaka.
At 「大阪城 豊臣石垣館」, you can descend underground to view the 豊臣期石垣 buried by the 徳川幕府. Experience its unique appeal and impressive presence, distinct from the stone walls rebuilt during the 徳川 period, as well as the astonishing thickness of the layers of earth covering them.
