Osaka Castle | Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour

About this experience

Osaka Castle's keep went up in 1931, paid for by its citizens; its giant walls are the Tokugawa shoguns' work of the 1620s; and Hideyoshi's castle, the first great one here, is still buried beneath them. Nine stops inside the walls, from Otemon and the Octopus Stone to the keep, the newly opened buried wall, the Yamazato-maru where the Toyotomi fell, Gokurakubashi and Aoyamon. Your pace, your order, no group and no schedule. 9 stops, about 1.4 km on foot, 1h15 at an easy pace. The route starts at Otemon Gate and ends at Aoyamon. It is fully self-guided: no group, no guide to keep up with, and no need to arrive at a set time. Start whenever you like, pause for as long as you want, and pick it up again where you left off. Narrated stop by stop in English, in your phone's browser, with a live GPS map of the route.
