Walking to Osaka Castle

Last Saturday Mami and me walked to Osaka Castle. It feels like a really long walk, but it turned out to be just 5-6 kilometers. It took about 1.5 to 2 hours to go there. At Osaka Castle we visited the plum garden filled with blooming flowers. Really beautiful.

We walked around Osaka Castle for more than 2 hours. Mami made some delicious onigiri as lunch. We bought an ice cream because Saturday was pretty warm (about 18 degrees).
While eating our onigiri some Japanese lady came to talk with us. She was a voluntary guide for tourists at Osaka Castle. I think we talked for about 15 minutes about all kind of stuff. She also could speak a little bit English. After 6 hours and 30 minutes later of walking we came home really tired…
