Keep and stone walls. Nishinomaru Garden is the next stop in the same park — not Tsutenkaku the same day.
osaka-east
Keep, park and the history museum. Cherry season is separate. Tsutenkaku is not this park’s next stop.

Moats and lawns. Cherry season (late March to early April) is its own crowd; on ordinary days one loop is enough.

The garden in front of the keep; plum and maple have seasons. The ticket is separate from the tower.

Beside the Naniwa Palace site; the top floor frames the keep. An indoor half-day — often closed Tuesdays.

The Toyotomi Hideyoshi shrine inside the park. Pray, then return to the keep — do not exit toward Namba.

A cherry walk open only in early April. It is not a year-round sight — do not make a special trip when it is shut.

Towers and a fountain east of the castle. Hotel New Otani is here; the keep lights up at night.

The Loop and Keihan interchange, with a street in front of the station. Good for supplies — not a main sight.

The bridge facing the keep. Stand here for the photo — do not only stamp the interior.

The Okawa riverbank. Walk it in cherry season; on ordinary days it is a jog, not a mall.

Column bases of the ancient palace beside the history museum. Fifteen minutes outdoors, then the museum or the castle.
