31. The Very Castle

Back Main page Fwd

Here is the castle itself. It is certainly an imposing building, but it is not the original. Osaka-jo has burned down a couple of times. The current version from early 1930s is less prone to do, since it is built in concrete and not wood.

As you can see, there are a lot of people here. And to be honest, it was too much people. I don't mind crowds if they are native to the place, but this crowd is not.
