Kansai Japan

Probably Osaka’s biggest tourist attraction, Osaka Castle, sits on an island filled with trees, large rock walls, and moat around the outside. The castle is a museum as well as an observation deck at the top floor. Prepare to climb tight staircases.

Since this is one of the few traditional tourist sites in Osaka, go see it.

The castle restored to its full glory in 1997.
