Cultural & Travel Highlights from Osaka

• Springtime in Osaka is a delight, particularly with the Sakura, which typically reach full bloom in the very early days of April, enthralling admirers with their delicacy. To behold thousands in full bloom together is breathtaking, and hanami parties pop up under the trees for groups to view the pink splendor together. Over 4,000 cherry trees are planted on the grounds of…
• Osaka Castle – a must-see for any visitor to Osaka.  Though originally built in the last years of the 16th century, the structure was destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed again in the 17th. The currently standing castle was constructed in 1931, miraculously survived WWII, and was considerably repaired and beautified in 1997. The grounds are as spectacular as the castle itself, with wide green lawns, a tea house, a shrine, and of course, the cherry trees.
• Japan has some really unique holidays during which travel prices soar astronomically. Golden Week (usually the last week of April through the first week of May) and Silver Week (in early autumn) are two such expensive holiday seasons.
• Japan also has some unique, exciting dishes, though some do require an adventurous spirit to sink your teeth into! For example, the timid might not enjoy Kaiseki, a style of cooking using small bits of food from a never-ending assortment of sources, and you never really know what you’re eating.
