In the heart of Osaka, inside the Great Stone Wall, there is a beautiful castle, the symbol of Osaka. However it’s not the only beautiful thing to admire. The Osaka Castle’s Park, opened in 1931 and covers an area of 106.7 hectares offering unique scenery that attracts many visitors all year round. You’ll be surprised to remember that you’re still in the center of a big city! The people of Osaka are so lucky to have such a beautiful park in their city, one that is ideal for all ages and a perfect place for relaxation and recreation.

This place is bigger than you think, isn't it? I went there for plum blooming time (February) and it was good, too!
