#OsakaSakura The Flower Expo Memorial Park #Tsurumi-ryokuchi, which once hosted the Flower Expo, is also one of Osaka's cherry blossom viewing spots. Although it is not as well-known and crowded as the Mint and Osaka Castle, the vast 123-hectare park is beautiful and romantic from March to April when various types of cherry blossoms such as Kawazu cherry, Somei Yoshino cherry, and Sunshine cherry bloom in sequence in the park. Tsurumi Park is large enough to effectively disperse the crowds, so you can enjoy cherry blossoms without being crowded. You can also appreciate other flowers in the greenhouse and garden landscapes from all over the world. It is definitely worth a visit. As for transportation, it is also very convenient. You can take the subway directly to Tsurumi-ryokuchi Station, and the park is right outside the station. #Osaka #Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park #Osaka Sakura

🥯《Osaka/Moriguchi》 A bakery in front of Moriguchi Station that combines hard and stylish. Soft bagels and crunchy scones✨ These scones have sharp corners that look like they're crunchy✨ So tempting😂 There are a few seats for eating in◎ The bagel sandwiches and scone sandwiches looked delicious, so it would be nice to just eat them and go home🤤 The handwritten logo is also stylish☺️ They're closed on weekends, so it's a bit of a hassle to visit, but I recommend it! ------------------------------ ✔︎ Bäckerei Cuisson Osaka Stand Address | 3-1 Beniyacho, Moriguchi City, Osaka Prefecture Open | 12:00-16:00 Closed | Friday-Monday + irregular holidays Access | 2 minutes walk from Keihan "Takii" station #Osaka #OsakaGourmet #OsakaCafe #OsakaBakery #OsakaSightseeing #SoloTravel #Trip

#2024wish Awesome park and divided into different themes. Can easily spend half a day here relaxing, enjoying the scenery and flowers. Very little tourists and plenty of locals walking their dogs. It's one of my favourite spots in Osaka. If you're around in spring, then I think this is a must visit. I'm not sure what it's like during other seasons, but I imagine it's always a nice place to go. I went in late march, which seemed to be perfectly on time with the cherry blossoms and tulips. There are heaps of seating and places to enjoy a picnic. I also saw many people walking their dogs and a small flower/plant market at the entrance. There are also multiple rest rooms throughout the park. I wish to go back here in 2024

●Name season ●Access 2-15-1 Keihan Hondori, Moriguchi, Osaka 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points The food and sake here are absolutely delicious The chef's attention to detail is apparent every time you take a bite It goes without saying that it's fresh and high quality The chef puts in a little extra effort, so everything you eat is delicious! ️ is so delicious that it makes you exclaim, "️!" They serve ingredients that are in season and should be eaten now This is a must-visit place for sake lovers In addition to stocking brands that you normally can't drink, they offer them at reasonable prices I love sake, so I always have the 4th one and go home tipsy 🤭 It has an old-style Japanese house exterior, 6 seats at the counter, and a tatami room on the second floor If you want to enjoy your meal, I recommend that you request a counter seat on the first floor when making a reservation At a good restaurant, it's more fun to eat and drink while talking with the chef over the counter than just eating, isn't it? This is a must-visit place when you visit "Windmill Hill at Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park" #Domestic travel #Osaka #Gourmet #Sake

I went to Tsurumi Ryokuchi, a park in Osaka with a Dutch-like landscape, Flower Expo Memorial Park.

Spring flowers such as tulips were blooming beautifully. Thank you for visiting Trip Memory 😊 Please like and follow us. #OsakaTourism

I didn't expect that Osaka Sushiro can actually eat Caleb chips😆 Although Sushiro has increased its price, it is cheaper than in Hong Kong because of the low price of Japanese yen. Eating sushi in Japan must be fresher and tastier than in Hong Kong (in fact and psychologically), plus many sushi styles are not available in Hong Kong. So you can eat like crazy without any shame. #japanesefood #japanesesushi #sushiro #overseastravel #japantravel #japanesefood

Address: 3-15-2 Minami Terakata Minamidori, Moriguchi, Osaka Atmosphere/Facilities: The restaurant is air-conditioned and comfortable throughout✨ There are plenty of counter seats, and you can even sit alone✨ Recommended points: There are about five different spices in the base soup, so you can choose a spicy base soup, or try the classic pork bone soup✨ You can choose from six different noodle hardnesses, and the powdered rice is boiled for only five seconds, but it's very delicious, so I recommend it✨ Average price: 1,000 yen to 1,999 yen Budget per person: 999 yen Rating: Overall rating ⭐4.0 #Osaka sightseeing #Gourmet

It’s like world travel without the jet lag. There are ponds, bike paths, and enough green space to just sprawl out with snacks and vibes. Families, couples, and solo adventurers all find their corner here. And if you're into photography or just want a peaceful stroll surrounded by flowers, it's a spring dream.

You've shared some great lesser-known spots for sakura in the Kansai area.

I went here for a pre-wedding photo shoot. It was nice that it was a quiet place surrounded by nature. I took the subway, but it was close to the station. There was a cafe attached, and it's often featured on Instagram. The area around the park was well-maintained, and there was a parking lot. There was a park on the way from the station to the park, and it was nice to stop by after playing there a lot. It was my first time there, but I thought it was a park that could be used for various occasions, whether it was for families or for a walk. 📍Location: Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park #Spring0yenTrip
