osaka castle is the most famous tourist attraction in osaka and a symbol of osaka. it includes thirteen buildings that have been designated as important cultural heritage by the Japanese government. It is particularly famous for its magnificent gates and towers built along the moat. The wall, which is 2 meters high and very steep, is made of huge stones from all over Japan. The high and steep city walls and wide moats constitute a spectacular scene that no other ancient Japanese city can compare with.
It is worth mentioning that the eight U's and decorative ghost tiles on the top of Tianshou Pavilion, as well as the tiger-shaped relief, are all gold-plated.
Osaka Castle underwent an overhaul in 1997. Newly painted exterior walls and relocated gold-plated decorative accessories. The dazzling gold against the white walls restored Osaka Castle to its original majestic posture.

Japanese dim sum is very exquisite, so it is a good choice whether you eat it yourself or take it back as a handwritten letter to your relatives and friends. There is also a special biscuit in Osaka called Osaka Lovers. Most people have only heard of the "White Lovers" in Hokkaido, but there is such a "wonderful flower" in Osaka that you can laugh when you see it, but after tasting it, you will be intoxicated by its thick white chocolate. I believe that such a delicious and loving gift will definitely make your family and friends very happy.
of Osaka Head Office, as a country of animation, has limited edition animation ornaments that can only be bought locally all over Japan. Like the hero in One Piece and Hello Kitty's doll, they were originally released in Osaka and can only be found in Osaka. Therefore, friends who like anime must go to the local area to find their favorite anime character pendants.
Little Japanese girls are the best spokespersons for Japanese cosmeceuticals. They are all beautiful and tender, but the quality of Japanese cosmeceuticals is really well-known, not to mention those traditional Japanese brands. Even those Japanese brands we don't know in the cosmeceuticals store are easy to use and cheap, so when you come to Japan, you will be tempted to empty your wallet for face-saving projects.
Japanese clothing has always been a sharp weapon for young people to dress up. In China, there are also whole buildings like OPA, which are department stores selling Japanese clothing. In Osaka's shopping center, every department store is a paradise for Japanese clothes. Maybe you can see a girl's clothes on the street in Osaka and find the same style in the department store in a flash.
