Osaka Castle
Marc and I chose Osaka to be our base during our summer vacation to Japan in the summer of 2005. Although we had spent a few days in Tokyo prior to coming here, most of our time was spent in this city as well as the cities nearby. Although we explored the city every single day we were there, it was really not during the last days there did we visit its attractions in detail. In fact, our visit to the Osaka Castle didn't take place until a few days before our return to the US.
