Details

Osaka Castle: Embark on a scenic drive to Osaka Castle, constructed in 1583 on a raised platform to protect the ruler from sword-wielding samurai. Explore the vast 400-acre grounds and enjoy panoramic views from the observation deck, then visit the beautiful garden known for cherry trees and the museum with artifacts from 1570 to 1600.

Sumiyoshi Shrine: Visit the ancient Sumiyoshi Shrine, founded in the 3rd century and recognized as one of Japan's oldest shrines. Its unique Sumiyoshi-zukuri architecture exemplifies a traditional Japanese style without any influence from the mainland.
