Osaka Castle, built in 1583 on the former site of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, was intended by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to be the center of a unified Japan. It was destroyed by Tokugawa troops in 1615, but rebuilt in the 1620s. The main tower burnt down in 1665 and was reconstructed in ferro-concrete in 1931. It miraculously survived air raids during the war and underwent major repairs in 1997. The modern interior includes an elevator for accessibility and houses a museum about the castle's history and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
