Osaka Castle

Japanese culture is older than Osaka Castle; however, the culture grew and developed alongside Osaka Castle starting in 1496. During the time of the Osaka Castle, there were two leaders, Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Tokugawa Shogun. During each leader’s rule, the culture was changed according to each leader’s liking. After the period of their rule, the people rejected and accepted different aspects of culture from each period, just like the castle. The castle was fixed with new materials, but you can still find the original stones in which it was built outside Osaka Castle.
