Tourist attractions in Osaka
Osaka Castle
The Osaka Castle was built in the end of the 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a well-known warlord who brought the whole country under his rule in the late 16th century. It has been burned down in a series of battles in the 17th century, and reconstructed later. Once again it was destroyed by fire, its donjon only reduced to ashes this time, and was reconstructed at last early in the 20th century. On display at its 1st to 7th floors are various weapons, armors and folklife items of those days. There is a view spot on the 8th floor.
Aquarium Kaiyukan
This aquarium recreated 15 regions along the Ring of Fire (Pan Pacific Volcanic Zone) with diverse creatures in the Pacific Ocean. It exhibits fish, plants, reptiles, birds, mammals, and lots more. Guided tours are available.
Minami(Namba)
A huge sprawling area centered around train stations that link the city to points south, including the Kansai International Airport, Minami is characterized by its myriad of colorful, flashing neon signs and brightly lit streets, which are lined with countless shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. It’s also characterized, at the same time, by its broad European-style avenues. The very embodiment of the liveliness and vitality of Osaka, Minami is a place that never stops. But it’s not all just high energy and fast action in Minami; the area also boasts a number of theaters and halls where traditional Bunraku, Noh and Kabuki dramas are performed.
