Osaka Castle
大阪城
Walk along the moat and through the castle park. Add a visit inside the tower if you want the museum and upper views.
Getting there
Use Tanimachi 4-chome for the southwest side, or approach from Morinomiya or Osakajokoen according to your route. The tower is a walk inside the grounds.
Admission
Much of the outdoor park is free. The main tower museum and some gardens require separate admission. Check the tower’s last entry.
What to see
Walk the moat and paths for views of the tower from several sides. Add the museum inside the keep if you want more context.
Plan your visit
The park walk and tower visit can take different amounts of time. Pick a route that leaves you time for your next neighborhood.
Allow two to three hours for the park and tower. Include the moat paths and allow for queues and steps near the main building.
