One of our favorite sites we visited while we were in Osaka was Osaka-jo, the Osaka Castle. The weather was quite a bit colder than back in Marugame and the sun stayed hidden all day but the scenery was beautiful! This is a photo at the Sakura-mon gate and you can see the main donjon.
We couldn't seem to get all the people out of the way, but that is us on the right side of the entrance. Zack & I are in the back with Holden in the stroller and Hos in front of me.
Once at the donjon, we headed up to the 8th floor for a great view of the city.
Here is a photo looking across the grounds. These were some of the best views we saw! The leaves were beautiful!
This is Hos and I sitting on one of the walls surrounding the castle grounds. To the left of us the wall went straight down. Hos wanted a photo of us on the top of the wall. If you look to left and behind me you can see part of the wall and how tall it is.
This is Hos and I in front of the 130 ton Tako-ishi or Octopus Stone. This is the largest rock used in the original construction of the castle walls. They still aren't sure how they moved this rock or any of the other ones. The surface area of this rock is 60 sq. meters!
One our way out Hos saw this and just had to get a picture! So here is Samuri Hos with Geisha Zackarina!
