Site of Haunted House

Tucked away inside Osaka Castle Park, this historical marker marks the site where Toyotomi Hideyori and his mother Yodo-dono committed suicide after the fall of Osaka Castle in 1615. Despite the translation of 'Haunted House,' it is actually a solemn stone monument dedicated to these tragic figures of the Sengoku period. It is a quick but deeply poignant stop for history buffs who want to connect with the real human drama behind the castle's grand walls.
