#Osaka Castle Tower/Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle on a hill. The top floor of the tower is used for an observation deck, and we can learn about the castle's history as we descend from there.

#Osaka Castle Park (105 ha)/The park spreads out around two moats, which are filled with such flowering trees as plum, peach, and cherry blossoms.

#Former Kishu Palace Garden / The gardens of Wakayama Castle have been relocated here, allowing you to see both the actual castle tower and its reflection in the pond at the same time.

#Hokoku Shrine/Passing through the Torii Gate, we'll be greeted by a statue of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Japanese people visit the shrine to learn about his success stories from a peasant background.

#Dotonbori Shopping Street/At the beginning of the 17th century, there were 20 theaters along the canal. Merchants who provided tickets and rest places gathered to form the shopping street. 140 stores (400m), with flashy neon signs and moving signs, offer local foods to the visitors.

>Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street/The street was established as a connection between the entertainment district in the north and the theater district in the south. In modern times, department stores and specialty shops were established, and it became a prestigious trend-setting area where Osaka merchants aspired to own a shop. It is 580m long and lined with approximately 180 stores.

#Shinsekai District (9.2 ha/meaning "New World")/Built at the beginning of the 20th century with a design that combined the Parisian tower (Eiffel Tower) and New York amusement park (Coney Island). The amusement park closed after 10 years, but from the mid-20th century, the area developed into a district featuring a playhouse, movie theater, amusement facilities, and restaurants serving local cuisine.

#Tsutenkaku Tower(meaning "Lead to Heaven") / Osaka's symbolic tower, standing 108 meters tall in the center of the Shinsekai district. It's also housed “Billiken,” known as the Lucky Mascot (“the god of things as they ought to be” is curved below, an artwork by Americans).
