Osaka Castle 大坂城

 

It was a such a nice and relaxing stroll going into Osaka Castle. So many trees bearing shades of yellow, green, orange and red. 

It was so peaceful and quiet that the only sounds we heard were the chirping of birds... and the grumbling of my stomach. Lol!

But for now, I am quite content with Japanese snacks.

I've never been so happy to see a food stall!

 The Main Tower of Osaka Castle

Inside this beautifully ornate tower is a museum. I'm not a big history buff
so I didn't really pay attention. Hee hee.

 

 

What I enjoyed most was the breathtaking views of Osaka from atop the castle. Promise me you will climb all the way to the peak!

(We took the elevator.)
