A smaller castle with a beautiful rock garden and small exhibitions. It can easily be reached from Kishiwada Station. There's a great view from the top and there are many other things to discover near the castle. And it is much less crowded than Osaka Castle.

We were on our way back from Kansai Airport to Namba when we stopped at Kishiwada to see the castle there. We couldn't find any English Review of the castle and the castle did not rank highly on tourist attraction. We had some extra time so we decided to stop by.
The Castle is about 7 mins easy walk from the Kishiwada station. The castle grounds are beautiful and the simple fact that this isn't a popular tourist attraction meant you had ample space and time to take really lovely pictures. There are very lovely cherry blossoms surrounding the castle and the quietness of the castle grounds was surreal.
We spent more time than we expected there simply because it was so lovely. We were quite hesitant to leave (but for the time slipping by). We highly recommend this especially if you are a photographer.

After visiting many castles in Japan, it was a pleasure to visit one with an intimate feel.
There are some exhibits on a couple of floors, but not enough to make it feel more like a museum than a castle.
The view is great, and the rock garden in front is spectacular.

Kishiwada castle is a small but very beautiful castle in Osaka, 2 stations (10mins) from the Kansai Airport. If you have a few hour before your flight, this castle (or outlets) may be your best choice! The main keep is a tiny museum with very little display, but the view on the top is very nice, and you can see the full-picture of the unique garden before the castle.

We walked around the moated castle joining with groups of friendly early morning dog walkers for a convivial morning chat. The castle is beautiful and only takes 10-15 minutes to walk around if you just want the exterior views. It is minutes walking from a large temple and the Gofuso gardens. Well worth it!

Well, since i haven't researched this sightseeing spot and historical place before i went to see it, i was so positively surprised what I had seen.
The castle is big, and whole area is offering a lot to do and see when you are there. A couple of nice and famous restaurants(including Italian restaurant with the view of the castle itself), nice running and walking paths and quite impressive historical spot as you can see on the images.

Really enjoyed looking around this small castle. The building and surrounding was stunning and in great condition. Then, the paid entry was cool with some nice artefacts and a superb view from the top of the building. Not a lot of English explanations, but the entry fee was not large and so we equated it to paying for the view, which was spectacular. Would strongly recommend visiting this castle.

A traditional castle in Kishiwada. In spring, cherry blossoms are blooming and you can see a very beautiful scenery. There is an entrance fee, but you can promise Kishiwada on top of the castle.

The castle association in Japan released the 101-200 castles for stamp rally, and this is one of them. Nearest from Kansai Airport it is easy to go by Nankai Railway.
The castle itself was rebuilt in modern time, but the garden and the view from the top is beautiful. There are also some introduction on the history of the feudal lords who built it and ruled the area originally.

天守閣、お堀とたたえる水、それを取り巻く緑、それらがきれいに保存されているのは、ありそうでない。岸和田市は南大阪で唯一、その中心部に美しい城をもつ誇らしい街である。You can reach Kishiwadajou Castle in 10~15minutes from Kishiwada station of Nankai Line.

Hi
If I am travelling from Kansai Airport to Namba and wanted to drop by Kishiwada Castle on the way, are there any bag storage lockers at Kishiwada station?
Thanks!
