Osaka Castle

For some reason Osaka-jo is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Japan, and it is not even an original wooden castle, but a concrete reconstruction. Mind you they did spend a lot recently making it look good, something like $30,000,000! For original Japanese castles see Matsumoto Castle or Himeji Castle

We walked through the grounds of Osaka Castle on our way to get Hanako from the NHK building and here are some of the photos
