An urban oasis centered around a castle tower filled with historical romance
Osaka Castle, towering majestically against the blue sky, was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who aimed to unify the country, and is a symbolic presence that cannot be missed when visiting Osaka. Osaka Castle Park, which is free to enter and free to stroll around except for the Nishinomaru Garden, continues to be loved as a place of relaxation for tourists and local residents alike. There are other ways to enjoy Osaka Castle besides touring its historic sites that you should not miss. Miraiza Osaka Castle, located within the grounds of Osaka Castle Park, is a complex built using the historic building of the former Fourth Division Headquarters. Inside, the VIP room and other decorations shine everywhere. It's amazing that the building, which was previously only open to the public during special openings, can now be entered at any time during business hours. It is a popular spot with plenty of attractions to spend a whole day playing, including restaurants and souvenir shops, Japan's first illusion museum, and rooftop dining where you can enjoy barbecue while looking out at the Osaka Castle tower.
Japan's largest keyhole-shaped tumulus viewed from high above
The Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2019. The Nintoku-tenno-ryo Kofun in Sakai City, which is included in the group, is a large-scale ancient tomb that is not only considered one of the three largest ancient tombs in Japan, but is also one of the largest tombs in the world, along with the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China. It is about 486 meters long. Its entire view can only be seen from far above. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to take a chartered plane tour to view the ancient tombs from the sky, but it is also true that it is not very accessible. The Nintoku-tenno-ryo Kofun VR Tour, which is held at Sakai City Museum, allows you to easily enjoy the entire view of the Nintoku-tenno-ryo Kofun. This is the only place in Osaka where you can enjoy a simulated experience tour of the Mozu Kofun Group from above using VR (virtual reality) technology. The tour uses CG images to recreate the tomb's appearance when it was constructed approximately 1,600 years ago, as well as the stone chamber inside the tomb, which is otherwise off-limits to the public. The realistic images give the viewer the feeling of actually entering the stone chamber, making it a must-see.
