The garden in front of the keep; plum and maple have seasons. The ticket is separate from the tower.
Best time
Morning or dusk. Cherry and maple seasons are their own crowds.
How to go
From Gokuraku Bridge the garden comes before you decide on the keep. ICOCA or PiTaPa taps the gate. An Osaka Metro day pass is Metro only — not JR.
Tips
- · The garden in front of the keep; plum and maple have seasons. The ticket is separate from the tower.
- · The garden ticket is separate from the keep. Opening follows that day's notice. Arrive early in plum and maple season.
