Why You Should Visit

A special exhibition at Osaka Castle's main tower on what "siblings" meant to the warlords of Japan's Sengoku period. Drawing on the castle's own collection, it shows brothers and sisters who propped up their houses together, those who fell into feuds, and those parted by marriage alliances. The exhibition is on floors 3 and 4 and is included in the regular admission, so you can combine it with the 8F observation deck and the Toyotomi stone-wall museum. Some exhibits change between the first and second halves of the run.

Essentials

There are 3 car parks within a 12-minute walk of Osaka Castle Main Tower, 3F–4F Exhibition Rooms, and 7 public restrooms within 8 minutes. The map shows each with its walking time.
