Otemon Gate
10 minutes
The first stop on the tour is the Otemon Gate, the main gate of Osaka Castle. Since it was built at the same time as the present Osaka Castle was constructed, it has a history of more than 400 years. The gate itself is a highlight, with tiles in the shape of “peaches” installed on the roof to ward off evil spirits, but the area around the gate is also impressive, with several huge stones used in the stone walls to symbolize the power of the Tokugawa Shoguns who built the castle.
