I forgot to mention in the vlog that those escalators at 10:05 are the world's highest escalators! 😱😱😱 That's really cool!! 😁😁😁. Edit: And thanks to Peter Raccoon for pointing out in the comments that the Nagoya Castle was not built by Oda Nobunaga. There might have been a mistake in the translation where I read the info or I got it wrong using Google Translate 😕. My bad!
In 1994, when I was last visiting Osaka-jo there was no elevator up to the entrance of Hideoshi's castle. Much less crowded on the day I went. Osaka-koan was my favorite place to visit. I spent 1 month in '93 & 1 month in '94 there and stayed with a friend who was working as a nightclub entertainer. One week after I left to return to California they had the Kobe quake. I was staying in an apartment next to the Hanshin freeway and I used to think it was so strongly built nothing could damage it. After the quake it tipped over. I saw pictures my friend has sent me. Incredible!
Very good...so you know some of the places we featured. We have more Osaka videos do have a look. WE too want to return so wait patiently for the virus to disappear. Thanks for watching😀
@@RenataPereiraTV Exactly. I've been in osaka for about 2 weeks so i've explored every corner there 🤣. I am planning to fly to japan in next 2021 summer, and i really hope the pandemic will end until then 🙏 Thanks for the amazing content!!
Thank You very much for another interesting video about Japan. Your enjoyable voice, the well balanced music and the video itself makes appetite to visit Osaka some day!
@@RenataPereiraTV thanks for showing some amazing views! Always wanted to go for the culture experience but seeing the views as well makes the choice almost irresistible! ❤
Oh wow...thank you very much Arnold. We love having you a part of the community.Since you have seem so many videos let me ask you, what additional information and/or videos do you think we could add to the channel, maybe missing or would be great to include
Hideyoshi Toyotomi is the person who turn Osaka into the economic capital just before the Edo era. Current Osaka castle is a conclete example of a conclete castle established by people's donation. Toyotomi's castle was replaced by Tokugawa (who established Edo era). Tokugawa's original castle was burned in the Boshin war (in the very end of Tokugawa era).
Yutaka Nagahata, thank you for the information. We find Japanese history so interesting and we only get a glimpse of it when we travel. We look forward to understanding more on future trips.
@@RenataPereiraTV I'm Polish but I lived three years in Sakay City close to Osaka because my wife is Japanese and yunger kid born in Japan, older in Warsaw. Green line Senri Chuo Sen interesting because I like Osaka Castel just it isn't oryginal because it was destroy in 16 century. Just like 80% building in Warsaw during The Second War. Very interesting is alsow parc and The bigest akwarium on The World Kajukan- Sujzokan. I like Kanssi because close to Osaka is alsow Kyoto, Nara, Kobe very interesting region for visit. If I can ask you. Where do you live?
Once you've been bitten by the travel fly, there is no known antidote and, as far as I'm concerned, I will be happily infected until the end of my days! Great video!😉👍
@@RenataPereiraTV Osaka n Tokyo reminded me of d cities I want to live n work but I didn't make it. I always wanted to experience travelling to developed country. That's d reason I left KLCC to join a Malaysian government investment agency which have centres all around d world. After holidaying in Spain, I knew what I wanted. In Europe alone, d agency has 5 offices. But instead, they sent me to a new office in Mumbai. For 3 years, I was exposed to air, water n noise pollutions. Upon returning to KL I was down with depression n unable to work for a year. I had to leave my job, sold my apartment in KL n left d city n slowly recovering. At my age, it's very difficult to find another job. Renata, I know this isn't your interest n I'm very sorry to be sharing my personal experience with you. Now. I'm just waiting for d blessings in disguise. Anyway, that's life. Please just have fun like u always do.
Osaka Castle is a famous castle in Japan. Foreigners are impressed with the design of Umeda Sky Building. Other things I want you to visit are Tsutenkaku and Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan so far. In addition, it is a new world in a food area like Osaka. There are still many attractive places in Osaka.
Every time your video can describe Japan properly. And we know that Gordon looks strict and angry but actually he is funny, that the way of his business :-) Good job and please keep up with it. Regards from Osaka Japan.
Oh, a great suggestion. We would like to visit it very much. Thank you for the great suggestion. Can on see everything in 1 day? Our research indicates it the biggest castle in Japan? 😀👍

Hello!! I’ve been watching your videos since three months ago. I really enjoy your videos every time!! My favorite subject is English!! I would like to study English more!! Finally,thank you for making these wonderful videos!!!
Osaka is such an underrated city! And these are the kind of places I am interested in. Have visited Tokyo, Yokohama and Nikko but next time Osaka and Kyoto is highest on the list.
First, Hideyoshi Toyotomi built Osaka Castle, but due to a domestic battle, the castle was burned down by Tokugawa clan. Then, Tokugawa clan rebuilt another Osaka Castle. This replica’s model is Tokugawa clan’s one. Nagoya Castle was also built by Tokugawa clan, so both castles are very similar.
@@RenataPereiraTV Summer in Sochi is a great time to relax. Sunbathing and swimming is convenient from May to October. The sea warms up to 30 ° C in summer. Therefore, beach lovers can spend time on the beaches of Greater Sochi. Take a walk along the shady alleys of the Sochi arboretum, from where you can go down to the sea by funicular. The Imereti Embankment will be a great place for walking at any time of the day, and the palm alley in Imereti Bay will add color to your photos. Going to the Vorontsov caves, to the cave of the Witches or to the Tiger Cave, do not forget to take warm clothes. The air temperature is within 10-12 ° C. If you managed to see all the main attractions in Sochi, go to Krasnaya Polyana, firstly, admire the Caucasus Mountains from the cable car and register at Rosa Peak, and secondly, explore Yeti Park and the Shishin-Dvor ethnic farm. Rosa Khutor has a small beach where you can cool off in hot weather. Matsesta resort is a great place for healing the body. Here is a balneological complex with healing springs. Many come to Matsesta with a guided tour to get acquainted with the history of the resort and collect healing mineral water. Those staying at the resort can visit the local aquarium as an entertainment.
Fascinating that the airport is built in the water. Osaka is a fun city and Japan makes it easy to get into the city versus driving. Great area you live in
Renata adorei o vídeo! Você e Gordon juntos são demais! Umeda Sky Building é realmente maravilhoso! Pelo que vi o legal é ir lá final de tarde e começo da noite para ver as luzes do chão e lá dentro certo?
Oi Lais! Muito obrigada!! Sim, fim de tarde mesmo pra ver o pôr do sol se tiver 😆😆 e a iluminação roxa à noite. Eles colocam aquelas luzes de festa que destaca o branco, sabe? Não consegui mostrar direito porque choveu bastante, mas num dia de tempo bom deve ser super legal 😉
Excuse me, ma'am. Nagoya castle was originally built by IMAGAWA Ujichika, father of IMAGAWA Yoshimoto. After ODA Nobuhide, father of ODA Nobunaga, deprived Imagawas of the castle with a battle, Nobunaga lived there as a lord in his early days. The original castle was abandoned after Nobunaga moved to Gifu castle. After several decades, TOKUGAWA Ieyasu, the founder of Tokugawa shogunate (Bakufu) rebuilt the Nagoya castle in 1609 A.D. at the site of original castle.
Hi Peter! Thank you for your explanation. There might have been a mistake in the translation where I read the info or Google Translate betrayed me. I'm going to add this information in the pinned comment. All the best to you.
I've been there a couple years back and they haven't built the escalator for the Osaka Castle yet, but then, it was Sakura season back then and the vicinity was full of Sakuras! Gordon seem nicer on this trip though... Ha.. Ha... Ha😆👍
Hello, welcome to KANSAI area😉 What's your impression of visiting OSAKA? I wonder you will think that people in Osaka is more friendly than Tokyo or Nagoya 😁 Of course you are going to kyoto,Nara and Kobe. Please be careful of Corona-Virus🙏 I recommend you often wash your hands,especially in kyoto👌
Hello サリー サリー We love Osaka and its very different from other Japanese cities. Our visit is too short and we definitely have to go back I would describe Osakans(?) as less reserved, more conversationalist, not so quiet...and we like Kyoto and areas are next trip Thank you, for the suggestions given the health concern.😀😍
The most organized chaos. That's how you describe most of the crowd in Japanese public sites 😉 Hope you do well Renata and all these real chaos that we face now will end soon
Been 5times visited Japan, and mostly of them are to watch a concert fr one of my fave korean band. Been inTokyo, Yokohama, Makuhari, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, gotemba, hakone & mt fuji .....still wanna explore Japan more & more. My multiple entry Visa need to use again, I just need new travel project, new travel guide work and ....money ....see you soon Japan, hope pandemic covid-19 finished soonest.
@@RenataPereiraTV : I cant choose haha. I like tokyo with neon lighting everywhere & 24hours hype lifestyle (modernization vibe), I like Osaka for shopping & eating paradise, I like kyoto for traditional & romantic vibe, I like hakone & all others Japan village for my eyevitamin & soul (due to fresh air, cleanliness & peaceful vibe). On top of that I like Japan at winter season since I come from tropical country, so find out snow just something precious to us hahaha
Renata. Me encantó lo que muestras de Osaka en este video. Hace un año atrás viajé a Japón y en Osaka hice un recorrido casi igual al de ustedes. La nostalgia fue tremenda...Jajaja antes de subir las escaleras del castillo hay una advertencia por si uno tiene problemas cardíacos y por supuesto una maquinita desfribiladora portatil... Muchos saludos desde Chile....
¡Ahhh que bueno que el video te trajo buenos recuerdos! Estou muy feliz. Saludos a ti y a tu país que nosotros 2 amamos (a Gordon le gustaría vivir en Zapallar 😍)
Замечательное видео . Великолепная архитектура, правда самурайский замок в Осако ( название не склоняется : Осака, в Осаке ... - не правильно ! ) мне понравился больше , при этом и современная архитектура великолепна , спасибо )))))) Немного ещё добавлю . Возможно показанные вами камни по сути гробницы , не знаю как в Японии , но в Древней Руси ( общее территориальное название ) подобные камни являлись родовыми пристанищами душ умерших родственников .... , возможно и в Японии существовал такой ритуал . Следующие мысли которые возникают после замков в Японии : по сути Япония раньше как островное государство была никому не интересна из вне . Я понимаю , например Китай , где императоры появились гораздо раньше чем чем возник Древний Рим , и конкурент были Персы, Индостан .... , да и дикарей кочевников было достаточно. Не ужели японцам настолько приходилось защищаться от самих японцев ? И ещё немного мыслей , смотришь ваши видео о Японии и думаешь , надеюсь японцы не станут переводить мой коммент, если бы японцы "по ушам" хорошо не получили и базы на своей земле не имели , жили ли они так комфортно как сейчас , и имели бы такую культуру сформировавшуюся комфортными для жизни условиями ?
Как интересно, что думали о камнях! Может быть, кто знает? Что касается вторжений, то, несмотря на то, что Япония была на острове, у них были и другие культуры, которые тоже пытались вторгнуться на остров. Но я думаю, что замки были также для внутренней обороны, так как всего 2 века назад Япония не была единой страной. Были разные королевства. Большое спасибо за просмотр моих видео.
@@RenataPereiraTV удалил коммент , кому то видимо не понравилась японская фактическая история . Бывает. Видимо не сочитается история с достопримечательностями .
Unfortunately, we didn't have the time... We chose not to go for only 1 day, as Kyoto deserves proper coverage. We are planning to go there later this year if everything works out
Love the hat Renata, at least you are sensible in tropical climes by keeping head and shoulders covered. Watching your videos is the only way I can enjoy views from high buildings as an innate fear of heights, I don't even fly if it's possible to go by sea no matter it might add weeks to a trip. Hotels can be a problem as always ask for a room below the 5th. floor. 💋💋💋👸
Thank you Tony S. Glad I can provide a higher perspective. I can understand using an umbrella in bright sunshine...its a life saver in Asia. Thks for watching!
静井耕史 your welcome. We enjoyed our visit but it was much too short. It is a great city and much different than other cities. We look forward to returning 😀
