Google Reviews
Uno de los puntos de interés más importantes de Osaka. Le doy 4 estrellas porque por dentro es un Museo, no se conserva nada del castillo sino que está todo reconstruido para contar la historia del castillo y japón un poco sesgada por su punto de vista. En conclusión, recomiendo ir a verlo pero no merece la pena entrar a no ser que os encante la historia y los museos. La entrada al castillo obviamente incluye las vistas de la zona superior del castillo pero no creo que merezca realmente la pena. Para los que quieran subir lo mejor es comprar las entradas online por ahorrarse la cola, pero no es necesario comprarlas con antelación. El castillo por fuera es precioso y esta rodeado por un parque.
Un lugar histórico en Osaka, lleno de cultura. Se accede fácilmente y puedes pagar tu boleto a la llegada. Hay muchas cosas interesantes que ver empezando por el Castillo mismo y un pequeño museo que hay en el interior en donde se ilustra las diversas etapas de construcción de este Castillo. Desafortunadamente está un poco lleno y eso dificulta disfrutarlo como se debe.
No es un Castillo sino un Museo. Es interesante y se centra en los acontecimientos de la historia en que Japón se volvió una sola y las guerras que hubo de por medio. No habla mucho del bombardeo que sucedió en la guerra contra EEUU, que explicaría porque por dentro ya no es un Castillo. Tiene un mirador precioso de todo Osaka. Realmente recomiendo verlo!
