Full description

Osaka Castle Tower captivates visitors with its grand scale and beautiful design. But just walking through the area isn't really enough to understand its appeal.

With a knowledgeable guide, you will uncover many secrets about this renowned castle throughout the tour.

Built by the feudal lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle holds significant historical value, telling the story of Japan's transition from the Sengoku period to the Edo period.

From the observation deck of the tower, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the Osaka cityscape.

Additionally, the interior is filled with historical exhibits, allowing visitors to explore the culture, armor, and artwork of that era.

Saya was an excellent guide! She first started with the stone wall construction tour that just opened in April that most other tourists miss. That was fantastic. She also made sure that our elderly grandparents (in their 80s) could access the elevators in the main Osaka castle, so they didn’t have to walk the stairs. Saya made the experience for all of us a great one from logistical to historical explanations. Her English was also excellent. We would highly recommend her to any families looking for a great experience at the Osaka Castle.
