Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle stands in a large public park and is known for its rebuilt main keep, which houses an eight-storey museum with historical artefacts, armour and interactive displays on the unification of Japan. Inside the museum, visitors can see a full-scale replica of Hideyoshi's Golden Tea Room and explore areas devoted to the castle's history and its role in the conflicts of the Azuchi–Momoyama period. The castle is surrounded by stone walls, moats and historic structures such as turrets, gates and gardens, so visitors can explore both the interior of the building and the paths and green spaces of the grounds.
