The first castle we visited, Osaka Castle. Interestingly, it houses a museum within its walls, which I felt was a wonderful idea as it allows visitors to step into a piece of history, as well as learn about Osaka's past. If you climb all the way up, you'll be able to have a 360 degree view of Osaka!
Clusters of rainbow moonstone, garnet, citrine and a single trillion- cut peridot top the fluorite, and hang off the sweetest rhodium plated sakura flowers, hommage to the beautiful sakura which were in bloom when I went this spring.
