All of the old buildings that can be seen today, such as the stone walls, moats, Otemon Gate, Tamon Yagura, and Sengan Yagura, date back to the Tokugawa period.The entire area is designated as a special national historic site, and most of the old buildings are designated as important cultural properties.

Universal studio Japan is the most popular theme park in west Japan. Children friendly tourists attractions. I recommend purchase on Klook than official if you want a 1.5 day pass. Because you’ll need to activate the pass at the entrance or receive paper ticket by post.
