Osaka Castle
The keep. Towering in the center of the castle, it symbolized the power of the lord of the castle.
Osaka Castle was built by a warlord who unified Japan in the midst of warfare, and he built a large castle and soaring keep to show off his power.
From inside the castle, visitors can learn about the warring periods of Japan and his background, and enjoy the view over the city of Osaka as he would have seen it.
