We went to the Osaka Castle in Osakajo Park today. The weather was fantastic. It was in the upper 70's (maybe low 80's) but breezy the whole time so it was OK. The castle itself is a museum that houses a lot of armor, weapons and scrolls from the 1500's and 1600's. The castle is surrounded by two moats and giant stone walls. It was impressive.
The park surrounding the castle was very beautiful, including a plum grove and a baseball field. It has been nice to see the Japanese folks enjoying the public parks on the weekends. There was a stage set up with what sounded like mostly traditional music, but we didn't get to catch any of it up close. On the way out, I was taking pictures of a statue and evidently a wedding party came through. We had also seen at least two weddings going on in the hotel today as well. Must just be the day...
Oh, here's a very bizarre video game I saw yesterday but didn't have the pic ready. It evidently extolls the evil inherent in TYPING... mwah ha ha!
