Osaka Castle
Highlight • Castle
Ōsaka Castle (Japanese: 大阪城, Ōsaka-jō) is located in the city of Osaka in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It is one of Japan's most famous castles and played an important role in the unification of Japan in the 16th century.
Tenshu (Main Tower)
The reconstruction by the Tokugawa began in 1620 and lasted for 10 years. After being struck by lightning, the main tower burned down completely in 1665, yet the castle continued to play an important role in the Tokugawa shoguns' control of western Japan.
It wasn't until 1843, almost 200 years later, that the castle was partially rebuilt with donations. But already in 1868, the castle was destroyed again during the wars of the Meiji Restoration. The remains of the castle were converted into a barracks by the Meiji government in the following years. In 1928, the castle's main tower was rebuilt again after a very successful fundraising campaign by the mayor. After the main tower was heavily damaged by bombing raids in World War II in 1945, it took several decades again until the castle was rebuilt in 1997 after three years of construction work. In 1953, the original castle complex was declared a Special Historic Site (tokubetsu shiseki).
