Time Out says

Learn about the turbulent history of Osaka Castle by stepping inside the iconic building and exploring its museum. There are eight floors, each with exhibits that tell the castle’s fascinating story. You’ll also notice a lot of gold decorations inside and outside the building, a nod to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the gold-obsessed feudal lord who built the first castle on this site over 400 years ago. Head up to the top-floor observation deck for stunning views of Osaka across the park.

What’s on

Osaka Castle Special Exhibition: The History of Water City Osaka

Osaka’s seaside location has made it a vital port city and commercial hub throughout history, and its many rivers were traditionally its lifeblood – essential for the distribution of goods and items all across the region. This reliance on and relationship with the sea is deeply reflected in local art and culture, in the form of marine motifs, seafarer tales, and even in the way seafood is presented when dining. Until August 7, the Osaka Castle Museum is holding a special exhibition of paintings, woodblock prints and many other artefacts from the Osaka Castle Keep collection that tell the story of Osaka as the Water City. As the museum is located inside Osaka Castle, admission is included with castle tickets, which can be bought at the door upon entry.
