About

The Osaka Museum of History opened in 2001 next to the green of Osaka Castle Park and the Naniwa Palace Site Park. It covers nearly 1,400 years of Osaka as a city, from antiquity through the medieval and early modern periods to modern and present-day times, using full-size reconstructed buildings, scale models, film and a large number of original objects, so the city's history and culture can be seen at close range. The top floor looks out on Osaka Castle and is a place for photographs. Tours are also run of the Naniwa Palace remains preserved underground.
