The atmosphere is good, the staff is good, the park is less than expected, and the small people can be brushed all over in less than a day. Very good memories. The weather is really beautiful. Some projects are also very fun on both sides!

Osaka Castle Park

Plum blossoms in February and cherry blossoms in March are the two main attractions of Osaka Castle Park. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the fragrance of plum blossoms fills the garden and makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are many varieties of plum blossoms, and they are very old. There are large areas of old plum tree stumps with different shapes.

Buy it with you, the price is much more favorable than the on-site, you can see the panoramic view of Osaka on the Tianshou Pavilion, understand the history and culture, it is worth visiting. It is recommended to arrive at 8 o'clock in the morning, the environment is quiet and the photos are beautiful, and you can avoid the tour group army.

When you come to Osaka, you must come to Shinsaibashi. There are too many restaurants in the nearby shops. If the time is not long, Shinsaibashi must come to high-end or affordable or beauty stores or restaurants or playgrounds or snacks. No matter the old, Chinese and young luxury shopping shop designs.

It is a shopping street with a long history. It is an excellent place to explore the common people’s culture in Osaka, Japan. The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgic style of the times. A dazzling array of products and various specialty shops, There are also very exaggerated signboards, which can take many good photos. It is also a concentrated place for fried skewers. You can feel the local people’s eating and party habits.

Every day is a building, close to Osaka Station, the more distinctive is the building structure, the top floor needs to buy tickets, the middle floor elevator is free, in fact, just walk around and punch in. If there is no free ticket, there is no need to go to the top floor. Osaka Umeda Building (Umeda Sky Building) is an iconic building in the North District of Osaka City, with its unique design and facilities making it a popular attraction for tourists and local residents. Here are several features of the building: 1. Sky Garden Outlook: The top floor of the building has an Sky Garden Outlook, which overlooks the beautiful scenery of downtown Osaka in 360 degrees. Especially in the evening, visitors can enjoy the charming night view of Osaka. 2. Twin Tower Structure: Umeda Building consists of two towers, two towers connected together by air trails. This design makes the building a unique twin tower shape, very modern. 3. Airwalk: The airwalk connecting the two towers is designed as a circular platform where visitors can feel the unique experience of airwalking. 4. Indoor and outdoor design integration: The design of the building integrates modern architecture and natural elements, the interior design focuses on the use of open space and natural light, and the exterior has a high-altitude landscape that is harmonious with the surrounding environment. 5. Surroundings: Umeda Building is located in the Umeda business district of Osaka, surrounded by many shopping centers, restaurants and entertainment facilities. After visiting the building, visitors can easily enjoy the surrounding cityscape and activities. Umeda Tower is not only a great place for architecture lovers, but also provides an excellent viewing platform for Osaka citizens and tourists.

If you are alone, I don't recommend going there. It's basically just for checking in and taking photos. It's not interesting. It's better for couples or friends. You can consider going early to dine by the window. The night view is still very beautiful. The only good thing is that the souvenir shop inside is very good and has a lot of things~

The tallest building in Osaka, the scenery is beautiful, I went in the afternoon and didn't wait for the night view. I punched in the place where the service department confessed and leafed. There is also a chapter on it, you can bring a small book yourself, don't take a Chinese notebook like us 😂
