Day 6 is all about Osaka! First on the itinerary was to visit Osaka Castle Park. The park is filled with 1,250 Japanese plum trees and about 4,500 cherry trees. Too bad we were there during winter. It would have been nice to visit during Cherry Blossom (Sakura) season.

Osaka Castle

It was a long walk towards the castle. We didn't mind because along the way, we were able to take some good photos of the park.
