This is the last piece on impressive constructions I found inside Osaka Castle Park. It's located on the edge of the park and is called 'Kyoikuto'. 'Kyoiku' means education, and 'to' means tower...Education Tower...I wonder? So I got closer to the tower and found that this is a memorial tower for the victims of disasters that occurred in Japan, namely, the Muroto typhoon in 1934 and the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. I'm not sure why they named it a 'Kyoiku (Education) Tower, but probably it's so named because people in educational professions proposed and built the tower. Near this memorial tower, there is a wisteria trellis as well as hydrangea bushes to enjoy, a beautiful consolation to the victims of the disasters.
