大阪城公園遊歩道
Osaka Castle was built in 1583. The castle is one of Japan's most famous landmarks, and it played a major role in the unification of Japan during the sixteenth century. The castle is surrounded by inner and outer moats, and by an extensive park, with a total area of 106 hectares / 260 acres. Located in the heart of Osaka, the park has many historic structures. The Nishinomaru Garden has over 300 cherry trees, and the park also has a plum orchard, boasting over 1,200 trees in 100 varieties.
