Osaka Castle and Paradise Bridge

Built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583 and fell to Tokugawa forces, the castle is now a concrete museum with lift/elevator. From the top floor balcony we can see the 360 degree view to Osaka city.

Although I love Japanese castles, I was not very impressed with this one. An elevator in a castle?

Osaka Castle is a must see.
You can see Japanese traditional castle and you can go up into it .... the scenery from the top of the castle is wonderful!
