Osaka Castle is already a big tourist destination for visitors to Japan. During cherry blossom season in the spring (typically late March - early April) it becomes packed with crowds, both Japanese and foreigners. The cherry blossom trees surrounding the castle grounds is a great place to stroll through or enjoy a hanami (flower viewing) party.
When it comes to inside the castle grounds, it can be just as hectic. A lot is going on once you enter the inner grounds. Sometimes there's a man dressed as a samurai who will take pictures with you and there may also be food stands selling delicious Japanese snacks. In this video, I show you a time capsule they have buried that will be recovered in the future (I will not be alive when it's done). Inside the castle is a museum where they display many items related to samurai. There was no photography or video allowed, but at the top viewing deck you get an amazing view of the castle grounds from above and a view of the city surroundings. You could probably spend an hour here when you visit Osaka.
This footage was from my 2014 trip to Japan.
