Come with us to visit Osaka Castle and dive into Japanese history for half a day on foot!

We enter the castle grounds to soak up the history of Japan. We learn more from the end of the Warring Provinces period (15th-17th century). Here we have the site of the famous Battle of Osaka in 1614-1615, which marked the fall of the Toyotomi and the rise of the Tokugawa. We will walk in the park, especially during the cherry blossom season, and it revitalizes us.

After this half day, you will learn more about the history of Japan and Osaka. You will have regenerated in the greenery of Osaka, with a good breath of clean air. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
