Osaka Castle Park, Osaka

#cherryblossom25 Osaka Castle Park is a stunning blend of history and nature, with around 3,000 cherry trees framing the iconic castle. The contrast of pink blossoms against the castle’s white walls and golden accents is breathtaking. During peak season, the park is filled with hanami picnickers, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The Nishinomaru Garden within the park offers a particularly scenic view of the castle surrounded by sakura. Street food stalls add to the experience, selling treats like takoyaki and sakura-flavored snacks. Arriving in the late afternoon allows visitors to enjoy both daylight and evening illuminations.
