We are members of the Osaka Volunteer Guide Council (OVGC). We are all fascinated by the history of Osaka Castle and the ups and downs it has been through. Our daily activities are devoted to conveying the message of the castle's various virtues. We all wear a green uniform like a traditional Japanese happi coat.
Please feel free to talk to us when you find us in Osaka Castle park and we’ll guide you at your request for free*.
For inquiries, please email us at ovgc0804@gmail.com.
* Note: Individual inquiries other than those related to guide requests will not be handled.
* Note: “Free of charge” applies only to individuals and small groups.
