A Run to Osaka Castle Park

Thursday morning, I could go for another run in Osaka - this time to the Castle Park

The inner moat seen from the east side.

The plum garden - will be beautiful, soon.



The castle was considered to be the most difficult one to attack at the time.

Approached the castle from Gokurakubashi Bridge.





The original castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi - depicted in orange in this picture.  It was destroyed by Tokugawa Iyeyasu who built a larger one (blue).

The history of the castle is here.
