At Osaka Castle, a special event titled "Reiwa 6th Year Important Cultural Property Osaka Castle Yagura Special Opening" is being held. During the spring, summer, and autumn seasons, the interiors of the historic buildings designated as important cultural properties of the country are open to the public. In addition to the usual openings of the Tamon Yagura and Sengan Yagura, the Inui Yagura is open to the public for the first time in nine years. Visitors to the Inui Yagura will also receive a "special commemorative token" as a gift!
Osaka Castle was rebuilt by Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, after the fall of the Toyotomi family in the "Siege of Osaka". The castle contained various buildings including a castle tower, palace, residence, yagura, and storehouse. However, many of these were destroyed in fires during the turmoil of the Meiji Restoration and air raids during World War II.
The Tamon Yagura, Sengan Yagura, and Inui Yagura, which are open to the public this time, are valuable old buildings that have survived these disasters. In particular, the Inui Yagura, which is open to the public for the first time in nine years, is one of the oldest buildings in Osaka Castle, along with the Sengan Yagura.
By directly viewing the inside of the Edo period yagura, you can touch the diverse and rich history that Osaka Castle has walked through.
