A sleek 10-floor tower beside Osaka Castle that traces the city's history from ancient Naniwa Palace through the merchant Edo era to modern times. The full-scale reconstructions of Naniwa Palace's vermilion pillared halls are genuinely stunning, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame Osaka Castle dramatically. Crowds are manageable on weekday mornings, though the upper floors can feel rushed on weekends.
