osaka castle is a must see if in Osaka. if u take the lift to 5th floor, pl take audio guide before going to lift. it is not available on 5th floor. we survived without it but I imagine it would be more fun with it.
Beautiful castle. The inside has been all renovated and is more like a museum than an actual castle. Worth the visit though
