Inside the Osaka Castle 大阪城

Ok, so you’ve made it till here and finally you get inside the Osaka Castle but first you need to get the ticket to get in.

I mentioned this on my first post and I’ll repeat it once again:

“do not rely on cards neither debit nor credit. Always carry cash with you at all times”.

Japan is not card friendly so be aware of that and also remember that you can’t withdraw money from every single atm. I learnt that the hard way, because I could only withdraw money from 7-eleven convenient stores……say what? I know, it sounds mad but that how it is.

When buying the ticket, if you happen to have the Kansai Pass, let them know. You should get a discount for the entrance ticket. I can remember how much, it’s not too much, but it’s ok.

Outside the Osaka Castle 大阪城

So like I said on my previous post I decided to walk all the way from Nishinagahori where I was staying to the Osaka Castle. That’s almost 5km according to Google Map. I honestly didn’t mind since I quite hate the tube. First, you smell everyone’s odour, everyone has an arse face and you miss a good part of the whole experience. Hence, I decided to walk and it’s a very enjoyable walk, if you don’t mind walking that is.
