The Osaka Castle

Osaka Castle is probably the most famous tourist attraction in town. Two moats defended the castle back in the day, but nothing, not even the moats, could protect it from the tens of thousands of tourists like ourselves today. The castle has been conquered by loud Instagrammers, selfie-stick holders, influencers, and those who, for whatever reason, were forced to be here today. The main attraction is the castle tower on the inner island. The entire tower has been converted into a history museum, which is a bit of a pity, as the focus is not on the castle itself, but rather on the artifacts and the view.
