Osaka Castle 大阪城
Osaka28
Description Kakushi Kuruwa Bailey. It literally means "hidden" bailey. This bailey is located just off the entrance to the main keep. You almost don't notice it and I almost walked right past. Even if you do notice, you would be surprised at the size inside. It is meant as a place for soldiers to hide in the castle. You can also find many kokuin marks in the stones of this wall.
