I took a picture of Osaka Castle when I first visited in 2014 and made it my phone background. It is still my background.
Beautiful
Gorgeous!
I don’t know how to describe but the modern buildings at the back make this pic more Japan.
Osaka castle
To think how close this came to complete destruction!
I have a picture from this exact same spot!
Finally something great
Looks fabulous, even after having simple design (which represents the Japanese culture)
I really like this castle, an oddity.
It’s a pre-war concrete monument, making it almost 100 years old, looking a bit like an Edo period castle destroyed during the Boshin civil war, that was itself a reconstruction of a castle that was absolutely not looking like that.
One of the few castles NOT on a hill
