What other travelers are saying about Osaka Castle Park
Osaka Castle park was an amazing sight to see. We were able to go up a series of steps to get to the top level of the Castle and had awesome view of the city from the top level. The stairs are steep and can be challenging for people that have difficulty walking. I walk with a cane, but was able to get to the top and enjoy the view. There were snacks and souvenir shops at the bottom level. There are displays which explain the feature of the Castle and give a little history as well.
Osaka Castle is a marvel in middle of Osaka City. Really beautiful campus and lot of history. Takes a good 2 hours to cover everything and it's worth it. Museum inside is full of history. The castle inside doesn't look all traditional as it's updated and made relevant to tourists through
Osaka Castle is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, rich with history and surrounded by beautiful park grounds. The castle itself is impressive from the outside, especially during cherry blossom season when the park is full of hanami picnics. Inside, the castle has been converted into a museum showcasing samurai artifacts, historical exhibits, and the story of Osaka’s past.
The climb up to the top floor leads to an observation deck with a great view of the city. It can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the atmosphere is worth it. The surrounding Osaka Castle Park is spacious and relaxing, perfect for walking, cycling, or just enjoying nature in the middle of the city.
Very crowded place. The lineup was too long so we didn't see inside. For people that have difficulties walking, for a small price they can take a mini bus that takes you very close to the castle. Going on the other side of the castle exit, you can have a mini train tour. Other than that, the bulging and the park surrounding the castle are amazing.

We visited on one of the hottest days in July. Do be prepared for the heat during this time of year! Drink fluids, get an SPF umbrella and use a portable fan.
The grounds are spectacular- and the history of the castle is incredible.
The souvenir shops are tight, but filled with all kinds of cool things to buy.
There is food and cold treats to buy in the same place. It’s not fully air conditioned, and don’t have many seats - so don’t expect to use it as an escape from the heat!
