Overview of your Osaka tour

Osaka is the most beautiful city of Japan. In 1583, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had completed the great cause of unifying the world, began to build Osaka Castle, and completed the first castle tower a year and a half later. After the establishment of the Edo shogunate, the Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family launched two wars, the Osaka Winter Formation and the Summer Formation. In the end, the Tokugawa family won, and the earliest Osaka Castle also disappeared in the war. In 1620, the Tokugawa shogunate began to rebuild Osaka Castle and the second-generation castle tower, but a few years later the castle tower was struck by lightning and burned down, and it was not rebuilt for hundreds of years. It was not until 1928 in modern times that the mayor of Osaka City proposed to rebuild Osaka Castle, and received enthusiastic support from the citizens and huge donations. It was rebuilt with reinforced concrete floors and other materials according to the Toyotomi.
