OSAKA, JAPAN - APRIL 3: A person sits on a grassy slope beneath a manicured pine tree as crowds of tourists enter through a historic stone gate at Osaka Castle in Osaka, Japan, on April 3, 2026. Following the re-election of Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura and Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama on February 8, the Osaka regional government has reaffirmed its commitment to the 'Osaka Metropolis Plan,' which includes a 150 billion yen infrastructure and heritage preservation budget to support the city's role as Japan's 'secondary capital' and a primary hub for international tourism.
