The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"Originally built in the late 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Osaka Castle has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times and the current version dates to 1931; it sits amid sprawling grounds with a moat, houses a small museum, and has an observation deck offering picturesque urban views." - Matthew Kepnes
