1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #208 - Osaka Castle, Japan

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #208

- Osaka Castle, Japan

(Our Japan trip opened with a visit to the majestic Osaka Castle. Built in the 1500s and destroyed several times, it now stands tall, with distinctive Japanese architecture all round. For a 100yen, the birdfeeder will give you a pack of rice crispies and you can have a whale of a time feeding the pigeons. Another month and the cherry blossoms would have painted the entire area pink. Still, it was refreshingly cool at 12C, an oasis within the concrete jungle of Osaka. How about that impressive shogun-samurai suit on that man?)
