Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "Doseidon". The view of the castle and cherry blossoms is one of the superb views. Osaka Castle, located in Chuo-ku, Osaka, is a castle built in Osaka Castle Park. After being built during the Sengoku period, the castle tower was burned down many times and remained lost, but was rebuilt in 1931 at the request of the mayor of Osaka at the time. Currently, the castle tower is registered as a national registered tangible cultural property. Osaka Castle Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots" in Japan. There are about 3,000 cherry trees in the park, including Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Kanhizakura, and the best time to see them is usually around late March ~ early April. In addition, it is lit up from 18 ~ 21 o'clock and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. The vast Osaka Castle Park is full of attractions. The megalith "Takoishi" at the end of the cherry blossom gate located in front of the Osaka Castle Honmaru is a popular tourist spot. It is 5.5m high, has a surface area of 36 tatami mats, and weighs 108 tons. In addition, Osaka Castle is dotted with megaliths, so it is recommended to take a walk around the megaliths. At the museum in the castle tower, themes are held including permanent exhibitions, and you can try on helmets and jinhaori. ◆Osaka Castle◆ 【Address】〒540-0002 1-1 Osaka-jo, Chuo-ku, Osaka 【Access】 "Tanimachi 4-chome Station" Exit 1-B About 15 minutes on foot from the station 【Parking lot】Available Please check the official website for details. )

This is the view from the ruins of Nango Castle in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is my favorite spot with the sea, islands, townscapes and iron bridges spreading out below. And in spring, the early-blooming cold cherry blossoms further color the scenery. This is private land, but the owner has maintained it and opened it free of charge in the hope that many people will enjoy the scenery of the former mountain castle. While chewing on gratitude, this scenery as if you were the owner of the castle is exceptional.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Came.ll4's post "Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima Prefecture". The white exterior wall with snow shines even more beautifully. Tsurugajo Castle, located in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, is a historic castle that was designated as a national historic site in 1934. It is also called Wakamatsu Castle or Aizuwakamatsu Castle. Tsuruga Castle has a long history, built about 630 years ago in 1384. After that, it was damaged by a large earthquake, so it underwent a large-scale renovation and was restored to its current appearance. Tsuruga Castle, which is also a symbol of Aizuwakamatsu City, is full of attractions. The red-tiled castle tower is said to be the only castle in Japan that can only be seen at Tsuruga Castle. In addition, the "Tsurugajo Castle Museum" in the castle tower holds various special exhibitions. There is an observation room on the 5th floor of the top, where you can enjoy a superb view of Aizu 360 degrees. At the Tsurugajo Hall at the entrance of the castle, souvenirs and folk crafts are sold, and meals such as local dishes such as wappa rice, sauce katsudon, and Kitakata ramen are also recommended. ◆Tsurugajo◆ 【Address】〒965-0873 Fukushima Prefecture, Aizuwakamatsu City, Ote-cho 1-1 【Access】 → Tokyo Station Tohoku Shinkansen / 90 minutes → Koriyama Station Transfer Banetsu West Line / 60 minutes → get off at Aizuwakamatsu Station 【Parking lot】Available 360 passenger cars charged Tsurugajo Nishidemaru Parking Lot, Tsurugajo South Exit Parking Lot, Tsurugajo East Exit Parking Lot

[English/Japanese] A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a "Hachioji Castle Monaka" at the Japanese sweets shop Senshuen. In fact, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This "Hachioji Castle Monaka" is a confectionary shaped like the castle that existed at that time. The monaka is filled with sweet bean paste and is very tasty 😊By the way, Hachioji Castle is no longer there, but the place where the castle used to be is now a park. I would like to visit there with my students someday. A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought "Hachioji Castle Monaka" at the Japanese confectionery shop Senshoen.
