Osaka Castle I

As we approached the castle park, I witnessed another instance proving Rodney is huge in Japan!! 
(I'm not sure some of those little sweethearts would even reach his arm pits!!)


The grounds are so lovely!


Our first glimpse of the castle over one of the inner walls!

I found this worship wash basin quite peaceful.

Approaching the heart of the grounds!

A couple of food vendors




Rodney purchasing our castle entrance tickets

At the entrance


The inside was a museum of the time period and royal family housed there. We couldn't pass up the opportunity for $3 to "Try on of the helmet and surcort"!

Even though it says "one trial per person," they weren't busy and he allowed Rodney a second trial on our way back through the castle after visiting the observation level. Either that or he just didn't remember that tall guy in the red hoodie!!


Next post: views from the observation level and the park grounds in action!
