    Osaka Castle Park is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Osaka and a symbol of Japan's Sengoku period culture. The park is beautiful year-round—cherry blossoms bloom in spring, painting the landscape pink against the ancient castle; in autumn, the fiery red foliage creates a stunning contrast with the stone walls. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a nature lover, Osaka Castle Park will leave a lasting impression.

    Togetsukyo Bridge

    The Togetsu Bridge, named for the phenomenon of the moon "crossing," is steeped in the lore of Emperor Kameyama from the Kamakura era. It was during a moonlit boat ride that the emperor was captivated by the sight of the moon seemingly bridging the gap over the water. The first incarnation of this bridge rose in 836, with the present structure taking its place in 1934. While it maintains the appearance of a traditional wooden bridge, a closer look reveals its sturdy frame of reinforced concrete, with only the guardrails hewn from the fragrant cypress wood. At the bridge's landing, a collection of quaint souvenir emporiums await. The constant to-and-fro of rickshaws adds to the ambiance, transporting visitors to a Japan of yesteryears, where the echoes of history and the charm of antiquity are ever-present. Enjoy the movie sense when you walk through the bridge, and feel the peaceful breeze from the river.
