The on;y bridge across the inner moat, so it’s very busy, especially as it is a main route from a Metro station. You get a nice view of the moat and pleasure boats coming and going.

The bridge leads to the tenshu (main keep) from the north after passing the outer moat. Osaka-jo is a re-creation of what was once a much larger complex, and home to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the three great unifiers of Japan. Prior to this area being Osaka Castle, it was the site of the Hongan-ji citadel, a nearly impenetrable fortress built by monks who unwisely went up against Oda Nobunaga. The donjon area you see today dates back to 1931, while the original Osaka-jo was completed in 1586. It was destroyed/damaged and re-built several times between 1615 and the days of WWII.

Nice old bridge that goes over the moat. There were signposts from the Aoyamon that leads here to get to Osaka Castle.

A very nice landscape of Osaka Castle in the background here. A great scenic spot to take a photo of yourself, which I took quite a few here.
