4 Classic Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Osaka
When talking about flowers that represent spring in Japan, cherry blossoms come to mind.
There are various cherry blossom viewing spots all over Japan. This time, I will introduce four cherry blossom viewing spots in Osaka, a popular tourist destination.
The most classic is Osaka Castle. The beautiful scenery created by the castle and cherry blossoms is also very popular among the Japanese, and every year during cherry blossom season, many tourists visit. Convenient transportation is also key to its popularity.
The entire Osaka Castle Park has about 3,000 cherry trees. The castle keep and the plaza where you can see the cherry blossoms are excellent photography spots.
The castle is great, but the cherry blossoms in Nishinomaru Garden are also very popular, and you can enjoy illuminations at night.
Admission fee: 200 yen
Located in Osaka's Tennoji, Shitennoji Temple was built by the famous Japanese royal prince, Shotoku Taishi.
The combination of the magnificent temple and cherry blossoms gives a retro and solemn feel.
Recommended is the "Kameyu Shimaben-do" on the east side of the temple grounds. It looks as if the cherry blossoms are blooming around the vermilion-lacquered Buddhist hall in the middle of the pond.
The entrance fee is 300 yen, so you can fully enjoy the cherry blossoms.
This is Expo '70 Commemorative Park, one of Osaka's popular attractions.
On the vast grounds, you can enjoy cherry blossoms while taking a leisurely stroll.
The early-blooming "Kanzakura" can be appreciated from mid-March, and you can take photos together with the famous symbol "Tower of the Sun."
Admission to the Japanese Garden and Natural and Cultural Garden is 260 yen.
Finally, I will introduce a well-known "good place" for cherry blossom viewing.
Near the popular tourist area, Takatsu Shrine, the stone steps leading to the main hall are surrounded by cherry blossoms, making it a very beautiful shrine.
It is about a 5-minute walk from Tanimachi Kyuchome Station on the subway. During the cherry blossom season, the "Takatsu Shrine Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, and you can also enjoy nighttime cherry blossoms.
