About Osaka Museum of History
The Museum of History is a tour from the upper level to the lower level. I received a pamphlet at the entrance and collected several medallions for stamping inside the museum, including those of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. I could see Osaka Castle through the glass window on the highest floor, but the view was not as good as the view from the stairwell. From top to bottom, I skimmed through the history of Osaka in chronological order from ancient times to the present.
Each floor is a historical interval, and there is a high degree of reproduction of historical scenes. I liked the exhibition hall where Japanese and foreign styles collided, and the little girls in foreign clothes outside the clothing store in the hall were very cute.
One of the regrettable things about the whole museum is that the Japanese described the war of invasion as a regional war, and also passed over it, rendering the atmosphere of “the country being bullied by other countries”, without facing up to history. I visited the library on the second floor, which was very quiet, with readers carefully reading books. Outside the museum, there is a place where people can put umbrellas, and the Japanese always do a good job with such details.
