Osaka Castle is one of Japan’s most famous and historically significant landmarks, located in the heart of Osaka. It was originally built in the late 16th century by the samurai warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a symbol of his unification of Japan after a long period of civil war.

The castle played a crucial role during the unification of Japan in the Azuchi-Momoyama period and was a central figure in the Battle of Osaka (1614–1615), which marked the end of the Toyotomi clan's rule.
The current structure is a modern reconstruction, completed in 1931, after the original was destroyed multiple times throughout its history. Despite being a reconstruction, it still features traditional Japanese castle architecture, with its large stone walls, a moat, and multi-tiered roofs adorned with golden ornaments.
