Kartika Mayang in the last week

A beautiful castle with a lot of history. You can visit the museum in castle (don't forget to get the stamp!). You can buy the tickets in front of the castle via vending machine (cash and cashless). Not only castle, we can visit a beautiful flower garden and ride a boat.

A must visit for tourists in Osaka. We've been in the daytime and at night. The castle is well-lit at night, making for some amazing shots. You can get into the castle for 500 yen (kids are free). The grounds are lined with cherry and plum blossoms.

This exhibition presents a unique novelty factor, which significantly influences my views, as I've never experienced anything quite like it. The concept revolves around an art exhibition of luminous constructions. While none of the pieces are particularly outstanding on their own, they gain a novel and interesting quality when viewed from certain perspectives in the dark. One question that frequently arises is about the practical application of these artworks. They seem too extravagant for a typical home setting, and it's hard to imagine them fitting into a museum or other building. Despite their garish nature, the exhibition offers a distinctive experience. In some respects, the exhibition could serve as an amusing date destination, even though my previous comments may seem overly critical. Ultimately, its uniqueness is noteworthy and adds value to the overall experience.

Historic castle set in nice grounds. Most of the signage is in dual languages of Japanese and English. Inside the main castle keep there are lots of displays about the history of the site and previous ruling families. From the top floor there is a 360 view of the city. There is a lift available but usually a queue. With a JR railcard, you can buy a discounted entrance ticket from a separate window at the ticket office and don't have to queue. In the grounds of the castle, the old army head quarters from 1931 is now a visitors centre with gift shops and places to eat. Including a Tully's coffee shop. There seem to be various exhibitions during different times of the year. Look out for them. You have a choice of about 4 different tube stations within walking distance of the castle park. Depending on where you are coming from.

The grounds are perfect for an afternoon stroll, especially this time of the year when it's 11°C at noon. I had a great time climbing all the way up to the castle where the view is beautiful. The walk up was also pleasant, lots of space to walk despite the crowd, and the trees are so pretty with their autumn leaves.
