大阪城 : 1-1 Osakajo, Chuo Ward, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture 540-0002日本
大阪城,位於日本大阪市中央區(古屬攝津國東成郡)的大阪城公園內,為大阪名勝之一,和名古屋城、熊本城並列日本歷史上的三名城,別名「金城」或「錦城」。
在桃山時代是豐臣秀吉的居城。後來德川家康以兩次大坂之役(冬之陣、夏之陣)消滅了豐臣家,此後大坂城成為德川幕府控制西日本大名的重要據點。
大阪城矗立於上町台地北端,北臨淀川,居交通要津,最早為羽柴秀吉在大抵統一日本後所建,規模宏偉、金碧輝煌。曾多次毀於天災兵禍又重修改建,今日之大阪城為昭和年間以鋼筋水泥復築,1997年日本政府指定為登錄有形文化財。
「大阪」在明治維新前寫作「大坂」,維新後忌於「坂」字可拆為「士反」,有「武士叛亂」之諱,因此於明治三年(1870年)改名為「大阪」,「大坂城」也因而更名為「大阪城」。一般講述更名前的歷史時仍會以舊寫「大坂城」稱之,以示時代區別。

The Dōtonbori district of Osaka comes alive at night with incredible lighting and a young crowd thronging the many canalside restaurants and takeaways. I set my Leica to manual focus, F2 and the ISO and shutter speed to auto mode.
