Osaka Castle
In 1583, the construction of Osaka Castle was initiated on the former location of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga 13 years earlier. Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a plan to transform the castle into the centre of a new, unified Japan under Toyotomi rule
The castle tower's current ferro-concrete reconstruction was not built until 1931. During the war, it miraculously survived the citywide air raids.
In 1997, the castle gained new glamor through major repair works. Inside the castle tower, it is now completely modern and has an elevator for easier accessibility. An informative museum about the history of the castle and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is located inside.

The outer temple grounds are accessible without charge, but you must pay for entrance to the inner precinct, the Gokuraku-Jodo Garden, and the treasure house. Inside the inner precinct, there is a five-story pagoda that can be entered and ascended, and the Main Hall, where Prince Shotoku is buried as a Kannon statue.
The Gokuraku-Jodo Garden, located nearby, was created using descriptions of Amida Buddha's Western Paradise. On the temple grounds, there is a treasure house that exhibits paintings, scriptures, and other valuable belongings of the temple in regular, themed exhibitions.
