Stop 2

Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous and historically significant landmarks. Located in the heart of Osaka, it is an iconic symbol of the city and a popular tourist destination.
Osaka Castle was originally built in the late 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan's most famous warlords and unifiers. Hideyoshi began its construction in 1583, after his successful conquest of the region, with the goal of consolidating his power and creating a grand symbol of his rule. The castle was designed to reflect his ambition, with large walls, impressive gates, and a central main keep (tenshu) that was to be a symbol of his authority.

Stop 3

Dotonbori (道頓堀) is a vibrant and famous district in the heart of Osaka, known for its bustling atmosphere, neon lights, street food, entertainment, and cultural landmarks. It's one of the city's most iconic areas, drawing both locals and tourists alike.
Dotonbori was originally a canal built in the early 17th century (around 1612) by a wealthy merchant named Doton Yasui. He envisioned the canal as a way to improve the area’s commercial prospects. Over time, the district around the canal became a major entertainment and theater hub. By the Edo period, Dotonbori was famous for its kabuki theaters, puppet shows, and other live performances.

Tokyo Station is a major railway hub located in the Marunouchi business district of Tokyo, Japan. It is one of the busiest train stations in the world and serves as a key transportation center for the city and the surrounding regions.
