EasyTicket Osaka Castle Main Tower
📍 Japan Osaka 오사카성
Osaka Castle Main Tower is a history museum and observation deck at the heart of Osaka Castle Park. The current building is a modern reconstruction, but its exhibits give you an at-a-glance look at Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the changing history of Osaka Castle.
From the 8th-floor observation deck, you get a broad view over Osaka Castle Park and the city. Pair it with a walk around the castle walls, and you will get a better sense of the scale of the Osaka Castle area than you would from a simple indoor visit.
