Overview

Come with us to visit Osaka Castle for a day on foot and by public transport. Let's dive into Japanese history together for one day!

We first visit the Osaka History Museum, which traces the evolution of the city from its origins to the present day. We then go to the remains of Naniwa Palace, dating from the 7th century, located near the castle.

We finally enter the castle grounds to soak up the history of Japan, especially the end of the warring Provinces era (XV-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.

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

Activity itinerary

Osaka Museum of History
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Osaka Castle is imperative to visit when visiting this eponymous city. Around the castle there are also other less well-known places that are well worth a visit, such as the Osaka History Museum, which is just next door. As its name suggests, it traces the history of this city from its origins to today.
Naniwa-no-Miya-Ato Park (Naniwanomiya Palace Site Park)
  • 1h
The capital of the country was not fixed during the Asuka period (VI-VII century) and the capital rotated around. Osaka, under its former name of Naniwa, has a history of more than 1800 years. This city was also designated capital in 683, or at least place of residence, by Emperor Tenmu (622-686, reigning from 673). Emperors resided in these places from time to time, even during the time of Nara in the 8th century. Now, Naniwa Palace gives rise to a park where locals like to walk, maintain their shape or rest with picnics, greenery and running. The ruins are indicated and explained. We can learn more about the history of Osaka and Japan.
