Famous Landmarks
Osaka Castle
34.6937°N, 135.5023°E
Osaka Castle, built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is one of Japan's most famous castles. Its five-storey keep, rebuilt in 1931, overlooks a vast 106-hectare park planted with 600 cherry trees. In spring, the sakura blooming around its moats makes it one of the country's most beautiful hanami spots.
Dotonbori
34.6937°N, 135.5023°E
Dotonbori is Osaka's liveliest entertainment district, famous for its giant illuminated signs, including the Glico Running Man and the mechanical crab. Lining the canal of the same name, its alleys overflow with street food stalls serving takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and ramen. It embodies Osaka's gastronomic culture.
Shitennō-ji Temple
34.6937°N, 135.5023°E
Shitennō-ji, founded in 593 by Prince Shōtoku, is Japan's oldest officially administered Buddhist temple. Its architecture reproduces the original continental style with a five-storey pagoda, central gate, and main hall aligned on a single axis. The temple bears witness to the introduction of Buddhism to Japan and remains a living pilgrimage site.

The sky of Osaka
At 34° north latitude, Osaka shares a very similar sky to neighbouring Kyoto. Osaka Bay provides an unobstructed southern horizon, allowing observation of low southern constellations like Sagittarius and Scorpius in summer. Clear winter nights reveal Orion and Sirius with remarkable clarity.
