The castle also hosts a variety of seasonal events such as cherry blossom viewing in April and autumn leaf festivals in November, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Unique compared to other castles due to its strategic location near Osaka Bay, it played a critical role in Japan's unification wars during the late 16th century.
