OVERVIEW

Behold a downtown castle so iconic that it has become a symbol of the city and then mingle with the locals in two wonderfully bustling shopping districts. The setting of Osaka Castle couldn’t be more serene as it stands at the edge of a urban park with more than 1,200 trees, the majority of them ornamental cherry blossoms and apricots. As you meander through the grounds, take note of the massive wall that surrounds the castle. Its stones were supposedly carried there from all over Japan to display loyalty to hegemon Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who built Osaka Castle. The atmosphere will become noticeably more energetic in Dotonbori, an entertainment district with countless stores and restaurants. The guide will point out and describe some of the more flamboyant sights – including the massive 3-D billboards – after which you will be free to independently explore Dotonbori and neighboring Shinsaibashi, another lively shopping arcade that seems to go on forever.
