This park is exactly located inside the castle. The park is so beautiful and clean as well with the river. Visited this castle in winter season when all the maple leaves fall from the three and the color turn brown. It is so good to have your picture here. To get to the castle you need to walk quite a bit because it's maybe in total 30-40 minutes from the Osaka Metro but you will enjoy every detail in this city.

I wandered over here by accident on an unplanned visit to Osaka and ended up loving it. If you are a photographer, there's a lot of material to work with here :) I thoroughly enjoyed getting to go inside of the castle as well as walking it's extensive grounds. The town I grew up in could fit inside it's walls, so I was very impressed. It's more like a fortress or a citadel than just a castle, with it's huge walls and moats. You can easily spend a good chunk of the day here for sure.

Osaka Castle Park and Castle are beautiful areas, a large range of vegetation and paths leading to the various areas of the park. The trees are well-pruned with many interesting species of plants. The castle’s architecture is exquisite, with a great amount of detail. On the inside there are many exhibits informing visitors of the history of the castle and other aspects of the area. I highly recommend going to the top floor first, which has an amazing view over the park and city, and working your way down to the bottom, which is a lot easier than going upwards. I effortlessly spent hours wandering around the sprawling gardens and buildings in the park and castle area.

This exhibition presents a unique novelty factor, which significantly influences my views, as I've never experienced anything quite like it. The concept revolves around an art exhibition of luminous constructions. While none of the pieces are particularly outstanding on their own, they gain a novel and interesting quality when viewed from certain perspectives in the dark. One question that frequently arises is about the practical application of these artworks. They seem too extravagant for a typical home setting, and it's hard to imagine them fitting into a museum or other building. Despite their garish nature, the exhibition offers a distinctive experience. In some respects, the exhibition could serve as an amusing date destination, even though my previous comments may seem overly critical. Ultimately, its uniqueness is noteworthy and adds value to the overall experience.

Historic castle set in nice grounds. Most of the signage is in dual languages of Japanese and English. Inside the main castle keep there are lots of displays about the history of the site and previous ruling families. From the top floor there is a 360 view of the city. There is a lift available but usually a queue. With a JR railcard, you can buy a discounted entrance ticket from a separate window at the ticket office and don't have to queue. In the grounds of the castle, the old army head quarters from 1931 is now a visitors centre with gift shops and places to eat. Including a Tully's coffee shop. There seem to be various exhibitions during different times of the year. Look out for them. You have a choice of about 4 different tube stations within walking distance of the castle park. Depending on where you are coming from.

The gardens are more interesting than the Tokyo ones with the type of access they give, the vegetation, the views. Free entrance and plenty of drinks and ice cream, unlike Tokyo where there was no water. They even have built a mall there!

The restrooms were a bit disgusting, and some homeless guy was sleeping inside one of the stalls. Grass was very much overgrown in some areas. Other than that, it was a nice place leading up to the castle, offering some impressive views of the structure and some very interesting bits of history pertaining to the areas that surround it. Kid’s park nearby too for the little ones. Plenty of vending machines around, and some water fountains Dogs allowed in some areas, but keep your eyes open for where they are prohibited, especially closer to the castle. No entry fee for this area. Bring sunscreen! Perfect for picnics and small gatherings. Drones not allowed.

We had a wonderful day exploring the park and the castle. The park is lovely and easy to walk around, with many bathrooms and options for snacks. The castle itself was incredible! Even the walls themselves blew me away!

Beautiful castle with a great view from the top. Lots of photo ops around the castle grounds. During Sakura season it’s extra photogenic! Definitely don’t miss out on this one, my favorite castle in japan and I’ve been to a lot of castles 😉

A really designated layout and decoration for the castle. All stuff are well maintained for visitors to understand the history in the past. Though it is not huge but well organized. The location is really strategic for easy defense. You can tell how smart the people were at that time.

Ok

Magnificent......

The architecture is full of details and Japanese culture. Definitely worth to go. There are also some restaurants which you could spend half day inside.

The castle was closed the day we went but this was still a highlight of our trip. Beautiful grounds with plenty of markers noting historical events. We also made use of the little train shuttle that runs through the park and that was such a blessing after a day full of walking. I went back a second day to purchase items from the gift shop and if you're just going for the castle or Hokoku Shrine, I would recommend using Osakajokoen Station rather than Morinomiya Station. It seemed like a quicker and easier walk.

Big park with historic castle, although it's a retro one, but still fun to visit. Especially recommend to visit in spring. When cherry blossom fully bloom, the image is so beautiful. The must visit attraction in Osaka.

Such a historic place. Was there in the summer. Great for groups. Performance by high school students. Shops nearby served street food. Half a day would be sufficient to see around.

Osaka Castle Park is one of the top places to visit in Osaka!!! The park itself is very large and you can have a good walk walking through it. There is lots of beautiful nature to enjoy and the Sakura in spring is simply beautiful, especially near the East moat area. The castle itself is also very picturesque. I highly recommend visiting this par if you are in Osaka!!!

Who doesn’t know about the castle. But getting to learn the little history about its formation is mesmerizing. The history in gist is displayed with 3d and written text beside-in side the castle. Its worth reading each one the it. The view from the top is also so chilling (green)

Visited this magnificent castle during my visit to Osaka and I must confess that this castle have a huge historical memory that showcases one of Japanese rich cultural heritage to the world at large. The castle was newly innovated and has multiple floors for tourists to visit. Each of the floor have a lot of historical artifacts on the display for anyone visiting the castle to view. The staff working in this place are very helpful and the amount to pay to visit the castle is only 600JPY which is affordable. I would strongly recommend anyone visiting Osaka to take a trip to this beautiful castle because of it’s historical significance and location.

This place is magical during cherry blossom season! It took my breath away. This is a definite must see if you’re in the area. There is a boat ride and you can tour the inside of the castle; we opted out due to long wait times. The park is beautiful. I recommend packing a picnic or buying from the vendors and enjoying lunch in the outside grounds.

So much bigger and more impressive than any picture can do justice! In the park surrounding the castle, there are vendors selling a plethora of delicious snacks and drinks. The plant life and gardens are well-maintained and beautiful. The water surrounding the castle is pristine. There are many spots to sit and enjoy the view sandlots of space to walk around and take fun pictures. We only walked around the outside of the castle and had a great time. The line to go in seemed incredibly long, and I would guess that people may have had to wait for well over an hour to enter. I would research images of the inside to determine if the line is worth it for you. For us, just being on the grounds and seeing the outer architecture was enough. Absolutely beautiful.

It was really nice to visit a historic castle in Japan. The architecture of the castle was amazing to see. Inside the main castle has a historical display of the history, how it was build and destroyed and rebuilt.

The place was large. There was more than one carpark. If walking was not preferred, there were small train and golf cars for travelling to the castle at a charge. Maintenance was good. Convenient store and cafes were found near the entrance. Toilets were easily found along the walkway. Ventilation was natural because it was a bit opened. Inside the park, there was a playground for children. At the time of the visit, renovation of the castle area was in progress. There were many photographic points, especially the appearance of the castle, which was very grand.

Great scenery. It’s very hot during the summer. Lift go up to level 5 directly, from L5 climb up to Level 8 is faster and easier. Able to see 4 directions of views, North, South, East, West. From L8 and below, it’s the history of Osaka with very simple explanations whereby everyone can understand easily. Water refill and washroom at Level 2.

Really really busy, it's definitely more of a touristy spot but really beautiful! There are also several stands with food and drinks, I tried the shaved ice and it was really good :)

Beautiful walk, and an absolutely stunning castle! There are shopping opportunities next to the castle which were very interesting. I do recommend bringing an umbrella unless you don't mind getting stuck at the top.

Osaka Castle is definitely worth seeing, however you should not expect something very authentic as it's been sieged, destroyed and rebuilt several times. Nowadays, only the outside remains from the old period, the inside was transformed into a modern museum where you can learn a bit on the Tokugawa era.

It's a really clean park just outside Osaka Castle. The nature is beautiful and there are plenty of seating areas.

The park is beautiful during autumn. Perfect for a stroll or picnic. The castle itself is kind of meh in my opinion, the exhibitions were alright. Book the tickets online if you want to skip the queue to the ticket machines.

This place was absolutely stunning. We had visited at 9AM and the queue was already really long. Luckily we bought the ticket ahead of time so we skipped the queue and went straight up.

The grounds are perfect for an afternoon stroll, especially this time of the year when it's 11°C at noon. I had a great time climbing all the way up to the castle where the view is beautiful. The walk up was also pleasant, lots of space to walk despite the crowd, and the trees are so pretty with their autumn leaves.

A must visit for tourists in Osaka. We've been in the daytime and at night. The castle is well-lit at night, making for some amazing shots. You can get into the castle for 500 yen (kids are free). The grounds are lined with cherry and plum blossoms.

Beautiful historical place! It’s massive park and good place to bring your date too! Good atmosphere and a lovely photogenic spot! Nearby the castle area they have a museum, souvenir shop, and a restaurant too ! Gotta check it out

This place is amazing. The views are great and you should go there especially if you are down there in Autumn! The red leaves make a. even better view of the castle. Heaps of tourists though so try and go there very early!

Great wonderful park, easy to navigate walkways. Not too crowded. Cold in the winter (of course). Like me, people can just visit this park for free and get a good picture with the Osaka Castle as the background. The park has a good clean toilets. Next to the castle entrance, there is an observation platform that can see most of Osaka’s skyline. Great visit if sunny.

This was a marvel to see and go inside. The whole fort around the castle is an adventure of its own. You feel like you are in feudal Japan. It's so much fun. Then the castle is breathtaking with a plethora of interesting facts and sights inside. Definitely a must go. We went on a holiday there so the entrance was free. Even though it was super busy cause of the holiday it was well worth it.

Must visited place in Osaka. Stunning all year round, especially on Sakura season

Beautiful castle grounds. An easy stop on your Osaka adventure.

Really big castle and well preserved, wish the grounds had more vegetation but has lots of walking space. Good historical place to visit. Be prepared to pay and wait in line if you want a quick peek at the inside though.

Very clean and spacious park. You can observe Osaka Castle from the different angles, specially at sunset. You can also see different animals at the park. I manage to see a beaver in the waters of one of the nearby gates.

A quiet place in the middle of big city. Very easy access from the train station. Walking around and enjoy morning breeze was great experience. Not to mention the castle was very impressive.

Gigantic, lovely, and with a lot of history. It's different than the many beautiful gardens in Japan and has its own appeal. If it's to your taste you could easily spend a whole day walking around. If it's not then this might be more of a pass for you, there's plenty else to do in Japan.

Very nice cultural heritage site. It's a large area with a lot too see. Do spend time to go into the castle up to the observation floor. You get a good 360 view of the city since there's no obstructions nearby.

This place is amazing. You can learn about deeper Japanese history. The castle is very beautiful.

Very nice place to visit. One of the good attractions in Osaka

The castle is lovely but I would have liked more information about the castle itself. Of course there was 90 minutes worth of video history I didn't have the ability to enjoy with a 10 month old with me. The castle is wheelchair and stroller friendly but if you don't need these accommodations the staff will insist you take the stairs. The view from the top of the castle is lovely. It was an enjoyable experience.

I visit this castle twice and I'm still impress when looking at it.There's a museum inside telling you the history of the castle, on site they build a facility with restaurant, special presentations and souvenirs shop. It could get crowded since lot of students go there for field trip but it still worth it. You can walk around the park also!

Impressive Castle in the middle of modern city! I highly recommend this place, please find free English speaking guide on the site. Those guys are amazing, knowledgeable and they absolutely love their job.

A must see tourist attraction. The castle is beautiful. Stood in the middle of a large area, you can walk around it and there are things you can sight see, if you like to do a bit of side quest. The admission fee is 600 yen which is great compare to other stuffs

Feel like travelling back in time. Did learn a history lesson when going inside the castle.

近くで見ると圧巻です！

Great place to visit to see a castle in the middle of the city. New cafes in the area too are nice. The inside of the castle is like a modern museum. So if you are looking for a traditional castle experience, best to look elsewhere. A good alternative is Matsumoto castle in Nagano prefecture.

(Translated by Google) Osaka Castle Park is a large green park located in the Chuo Ward of Osaka City. One of the commemoration projects of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, the extensive historical park in the special historical site of Osaka Castle was completed in 1931 (Showa 6) during the global economic depression, overcoming various difficulties. At present, there are public facilities such as the Osaka Castle International Cultural Sports Hall (Osaka Castle Hall), the Sun Plaza in the multi-purpose sports field, soft baseball stadium, field concert hall, rugby and football stadiums. Towering in the center of the park, the Osaka Castle Tenshukaku has an open-visit observation deck and a history museum (fees required). The top floor overlooks the Osaka Plain from Ikoma Mountain to Osaka Bay. Many amateur bands play (street music performances) in the park during the day. A variety of trees are planted in the park. During the flowering season, it is a scenic spot for viewing cherry blossoms and plum blossoms. In Horikishi, you can see a family that helps the elderly and the young to watch wild birds by the water. It is not only a metropolitan oasis loved by the citizens of Osaka, but also many tourists from outside Japan. (Original) 大阪城公园是位於大阪市中央区的大型绿地公园。 昭和天皇即位大礼记念事业之一，大阪城特别史迹地内幅员广大的历史公园，於全球经济大萧条期中的1931年（昭和6年）克服种种困难而完成。目前园区内有大阪城国际文化运动馆（大阪城馆）、多用途运动场的太阳广场、软式棒球场、野外音乐堂、橄榄球・足球场等公共设施。耸立於公园中央的大阪城天守阁，设有供开放参观的展望台与历史博物馆（需付费），最顶层可以眺望从生驹山到大阪湾一带的大阪平原。星期日白天，园中有不少业馀乐队演奏（街头音乐表演）。公园内广栽各种树木，每逢花季是赏樱、赏梅的胜地，堀岸更可以看到一家扶老携幼观赏水边的野鸟。不仅是深受大阪市民喜爱的都会绿洲，来自日本国外的观光客也不少。

Best historical place to visit if you are in Osaka, Japan. This castle is one the of Japan's famous landmarks. Worth to visit!!!

I visited especially for the plum blossoms. Just beautiful! And because the park is huge it does not feel crowded

I went to Osaka Castle Park a few years ago before covid peak, the place is truly amazing and worthwhile. The park is hugh and vast, very peaceful. Definitely recommend to go for a walk with family, friends and date. A sight of beautiful garden while enjoying the castle view. The castle is breathtaking and historic. There's a museum inside telling the history of the castle. They also build a facility with restaurant, souvenirs shops as well as starbucks.

Osaka Castle 🏰 park is really amazing, a huge numbers of Japanese cherry plants are there. You will be amazed at cherry blossom here. It's a great place to do hanami with you children and family. A numbers of convenient store are near to your hand during hanami.

We went there for the February 2022 plum blossom exhibition. We were so delighted to see 1500 plum trees in full blossom (last week of February). The flowers covered a full spectrum of pinks, reds and whites, including combinations of these colors. Yes bicolor flowers. The guide was so kind to explain us details about each tree we wanted since he had a map with the names. At the same time we arrived the Osaka Marathon arrival was also happening. 2 hrs 7 mins Wow! It was very well organized with some politicians waiting at the arrival. We were able to go trough behind the people to access the park without any problem. The food stores at the entrance also were so good, and the ramen shop smelled so great.

The castle is absolutely glorious, and filled with phenomenal Japanese artifacts. The park itself is also well worth exploring.

Pretty park. I spent a few hours walking around and taking a peek, I got lucky the cherry blossoms started to bloom so looked at those. The back of the castle doesn’t have any tourists, so that was kind of nice. And they seemed to miss the blossoms back there. The blossoms are quite beautiful. Please be respectful and don’t pick them.

Good for morning and afternoon walk with an amazing view of Osaka Castle. The water around the castle got birds, adding to the beauty of golden structures on castle reflecting bright in sunlight. There is ample parking and some good options to eat snacks and drink coffee like LAWSON and Starbucks.

Very nice to visit. Expect a bit more of a museum, not a castle tour. The site has been mostly renovated between the times it was damaged in the past(3rd iteration), or to preserve the area and allow for tourists.

Wonderful park. Autumn foliage season is a fabulous time to visit. Great place to spend a half day or more enjoying the scenery of this wonderful city park. Good food options available near the castle. Shinto shrines are also an attraction. This is a must see in any Osaka itinerary.

Great place! You can go inside and upstairs of the castle! Unfortunately i can't go there because of it's 1st January so they're closed

Very nice park surrounding Osaka Castle. We went there on a Sunday morning. Very lively with little shops and cafes, and generally people out for a run or just enjoying some sunshine. There are also plenty of seats around the park, shade and public toilets, generally pretty clean.

Absolutely loved it. Piece of Japan's long history. You can choose to take the elevator or the stairs to the top floor. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance, otherwise you'll stand in a queue for an eternity. I think you can buy them online? I bought mine from the museum - Museum + Castle option. We went back at night to see the lanterns lit up. Not sure if that's available all year round or just the Sakura season. (Apr 2023)

Beautifully cared for park. Has absolutely everything you thought about and yet to think about. Street vendors, cafe, Minimarts, vending machines, restrooms, playgrounds, stunning views, paved walkways, resting benches and sooo much more to discover. There is also a ride along train you can jump on that will go around the grounds, and a boat that will circle the castle.

Beautiful castle and grounds! We went during cherry blossoms season, so the trees were really popping! Inside the castle expect to climb many stairs to get to the top. The view of the surrounding area is beautiful from that vantage point. There is a shop in the castle that sells a special goshuin, so if you are a collector of that, be sure to get one while you are there!

Nice beautiful park. There are lots of cherry blossom trees around the surrounding area if you are there in the spring. Beautiful place to go for a walk. Lots of spots for picture taking with the Castle in the background.

So beautiful!! There’s a lot to do and so much to see they also have some food stands i got fries they were good. If I remember correctly its not too far away from the station

Definitely a difficult summer walk for those with health conditions. The walk to Osaka Castle from the train station was very long and the heat was hot when we came during july. So to avoid the walk, make sure to take the little train that commutes right up to the Castle. I believe you can catch it at Morinomiya Station- would highly recommend looking into the train to save time. The castle is so pretty and definitely one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Japan. There's plenty to see inside the museum and a souvenir shop on the first floor and highest floor. There were food trucks located near the martial arts building in front of the castle entrance during the day we visited.

Gone to osaka castle in march 2022, the place is so huge. Many people come here to play pr just looking around. Feel like wanna spend my whole day there cause feeling so comfortable in this castle. Just see in my video below, japan is the best place to live in my opinion.

Osaka castle was awesome! It was a huge place haha of course because it’s a castle but I love all the different levels they have inside for the museum and it’s a good way to beat the heat. We went here in June and it was pretty packed but nothing too crazy. There was also a building nearby with some snacks so you can try to go over there after to take a break and get some drinks. I love the anime Case Closed and there was happened to be some stores with merch in there and it fulfilled my dream of getting to see the stuff they had. Overall, great experience.

Der Park ist etwas schwierig per Bahn erreichbar (für japanische Verhältnisse). Von der nächsten Station sind es mindestens 15 aber eher 20 Minuten Fußmarsch. Der Park selber war heute (Donnerstags) leider nicht geöffnet. Ich habe keine Ahnung wieso aber er war halt geschlossen. Leider kann deswegen gar nicht so viel zum Park sagen. Habe ihn nur aus der Entfernung gesehen. Wenn die Wassergräben zum Park gehören, dann sollten die mal gepflegt werden, das Gewässer ist gekippt. Allerdings war die Burg geöffnet.

Great activity for families and couples looking to spend the day outside and burn off a lot of energy! I walked from the nearby train station to the top of the hill castle park. Bring water and wear sunscreen if you attempt this during the summer! The castle grounds have shops, restaurants and a park for kiddos.

Very peaceful castle park in the middle of the city that offers a uniquely colorful scenery every season! Having been here more than 5 times all throughout the 4 seasons, my preferred time of year to visit is definitely fall, around late November / early December. The castle park is well known for its fall foliage as the warm tones of gold and red of the trees surrounding the castle create a beautiful contrast. Walking through the castle park will feel like walking through a tunnel of red and copper. Right now, in September the white and crimson crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia) are starting to bloom, which I also thought was unique to see. 📷 Tip for photographers: Come early in the morning before 10AM (before the large tourist groups arrive) when the castle ground is quiet and empty. Plus the lighting is much softer in the morning. My preferred season after having visited more than 5 times and seeing the castle in all 4 seasons is still Fall due to the beautiful red and golden leaves accompanied by golden hour in the morning / afternoon. 👣 Tip for fellow runners: The Osaka Castle Loop is a popular running that goes through the castle park and all around the outer perimeter of the castle. Distance approx. 4.2km, very wide paths which many runners like to use for sprint and interval training. I got off at the JR Ōsakajō-kōen Station, but you can also start from the JR Morinomiya Station.

The Castle itself and the views are SPECTACULAR. But the park needs to be kept. Grass was over grown with weeds running rampage. Still well worth the visit however.

A huge park around the famous Osaka castle, many tourists come to see the castle and there are also some local residents doing exercise in the beautiful environment.

A very nice walk around the castle. Lots of sitting and viewing spots. A little crowded because of school groups, but nothing too much. Recommend to come early to get tickets to enter, since around 12:00 the line for the ticket machines got longer. Other than that, just relax, enjoy the view, take some photos and find a bench and take a break.

Just go early as possible, it gets crowded. Carry a lot of water & to get best pics of the place go to the Japanese park on the left side upon entering the 2nd gate. Picture attached. Stay safe; have fun

Osaka Castle boasts a breathtaking exterior that's truly captivating! The architectural beauty is a sight to behold. However, the only downside is the overwhelming crowds, which can detract from the experience. Nevertheless, the sheer grandeur of the castle's exterior makes it a must-see despite the crowds.

The castle exterior was awe inspiring. The staff were helpful. It's an excellent place to do some shopping for that anime nerd in your family unless of course that's you in which case you're gonna wanna hit up the museum shops near the castle. The fortifications and moats we're a truly splendorous sight and I can only fathom what it is like in the spring. I didn't go in but I got right up to it. It's nestled in a wonderfully manicured park.

You can spend easily half a day here. The way everything is arranged it feels unreal. Whoever build this place is a genius. It seems like a lot of work have been taking place even in today's time. There are a lot of tourists so a lot of noise but still the way everything is made is fascinating. The castle is made like a museum. Every floor has an exposition of different time periods. Very long and cruel history I could add. At the last floor you can go outside and take pictures of the modern city and realize how big of a place the Osaka Castle Park really is. The monoliths are a piece of wonder. You can get lost pretty easy. A lot of wonderful spots to take pictures as well.

Went on Saturday afternoon, there were many people but not so packed, therefore it was enjoyable and easy to take photos, very peaceful and melancholic looking as it was fall season. I'm sure it's even more exciting during Cherry Blossom season. There's many restaurants and food stalls there at the entrance of the Castle Park and central castle ground area, easy to grab food or drinks if you're hungry.

Wonderful antique castle displaying lots of ancient treasures. The building itself also a great architectural legacy. Great view of whole Osaka city from the 8th floor of the castle. Nice and clean environment and touring routes.
