#OsakaSightseeing #PlumBlossom #OsakaCastle #CouplesTrip Sunday, February 26th. On the day of the Osaka Marathon, we went to see the plum grove at Osaka Castle. The area was crowded with people returning from the marathon and people looking for the plum grove. The plum blossoms were almost in full bloom on all branches, and we enjoyed the red, white, pink and other colorful plum blossoms. When I went there before the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a shop in the plum grove that sold oden, udon, amazake, etc., but now it has been replaced by a Lawson. Perhaps because of its location, Lawson sells cans of oden, amazake, and oshiruko, and there were many Osaka souvenirs such as sweets and pickled plums lined up. It was extremely cold, so we warmed ourselves up with oden, amazake, and oshiruko, and walked around the plum grove one more time before heading home.

Located in the area surrounding Osaka Castle, this garden boasts over 1,200 plum trees (ume) of more than 100 varieties, blooming beautifully across the entire garden. 🗓 Best time to visit: • Late February – Mid-March • Blooms about a month earlier than cherry blossoms • Plum blossoms come in stunning shades of white, pink, and deep pink, with a light fragrance filling the garden. 📸 Photo highlights: • Plum blossoms with the backdrop of stone walls and the Osaka Castle tower • Morning and evening light is particularly beautiful, and the area is less crowded • When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, it feels like stepping back into the Edo period. 🚌 How to get there: • A 10-15 minute walk from Morinomiya Station or Osakajokoen Station • Free admission, no entry fee.

The sky was a little overcast but not to the point of being boring. Instead, it added a touch of tranquility. I originally just planned to visit Osaka Castle to see the castle tower, but I didn't expect to encounter the plum blossom season, which was a complete surprise. Coming out of Mori-nomiya Station, walking along the path in the park, you can feel the gentle breeze and the air slightly scented with flowers all the way. The imposing presence of Osaka Castle itself is still very shocking, especially when you approach the castle tower, you can really feel the weight of history. But compared to the magnificent city walls, the blooming plum blossoms made me stop and stare longer. White, pink, and even red plum blossoms are in bloom. There aren't many tourists, so you can take pictures quietly or sit on a bench and daydream. There was an old couple sitting in Merlin chatting. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but the scene gave me an inexplicable warm feeling. I think this might be the charm of spring, unobtrusive but reassuring. Before leaving, I bought some limited edition plums and fruits from a small shop next to the castle tower. The sour and sweet taste seemed to seal the memory of today on the tip of my tongue. This is not my first time visiting Osaka Castle, but each time I come, the season is different and the experience is completely different. This visit accompanied by plum blossoms seemed to have an extra layer of soft filter, where history and nature intertwined, quietly leaving behind fragments of spring.

During the cherry blossom season, it is beautiful everywhere in Japan, but the cherry blossoms at the historic Osaka Castle Park are especially beautiful. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: The shadows reflected on the calm water surface are very beautiful. It is a tourist spot where you can enjoy all day with many food stalls. Please visit Osaka Castle Park during the cherry blossom season. There is also Niwa, which opened in March this year, nearby. It is a spacious and open space, so it is a place where you can enjoy yourself with children. 📍Location: 1-1 Osaka Castle, Chuo-ku, Osaka #Spring 0 yen trip

#OsakaSakura Tokyo cherry blossoms have begun! What about Osaka? 2025.03.23I rushed to Osaka Castle Park early in the morning to see if the cherry blossoms in Osaka have bloomed. After taking the subway, I walked along the path next to the Osaka Museum of History to Osaka Castle Park, and was amazed by a beautiful blooming cherry tree! It’s already in full bloom, so beautiful! When we walked into Osaka Castle, we found several cherry blossoms that were about to bloom in the ticket-selling cherry blossom garden (¥350) below the castle tower! You can imagine how romantic it would be to have a picnic on the grass under the trees when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

Taking advantage of the off-season in March, we visited Osaka Castle and took a boat ride to explore the moat. We also visited the Osaka Plum Garden. The plum blossoms in the garden were very beautiful before the cherry blossoms bloomed. #大坂城梅园 🏖️

When I walked into this beautiful plum forest, the scene before me stunned me! The plum blossoms bloom in the sun, as if welcoming our arrival. The air here is filled with a faint floral scent, which makes me want to take a deep breath and feel this gift from nature. Meilin has a long history and is home to more than 100 varieties of plum blossoms, attracting countless tourists every year to enjoy the flowers. It is said that the flowering period of plum blossoms lasts from the end of January to March. During this period, plum blossoms gradually bloom, heralding the arrival of spring. I strolled along the forest path, following the changing colors of the plum blossoms, from pure white to pink and even deep red. Each color had its own unique characteristics, like a beautiful painting. Here, I also noticed many tourists taking photos with their friends or family to capture this rare spring moment. Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, and I couldn't help but feel this happiness. People are playing and chatting under the plum trees, seemingly forgetting all the troubles in their lives. This atmosphere is truly intoxicating. It is very convenient to walk to Plum Grove in about 10 minutes from Morinomiya Station. When I stopped under a blooming plum tree, I couldn't help but feel awe and gratitude for nature. Every plum blossom seems to tell me that the arrival of spring is not only a change of seasons, but also a rebirth of life. Looking at these flowers, I feel a sense of hope, as if they are reminding us that even with challenges in life, spring will always arrive and bring new beginnings.

#OsakaTourism #OsakaCastle #PlumGrove I went to the plum grove at Osaka Castle to see the plum blossoms for the first time in a year. This year was a warm day, so last Saturday The plums in the plum grove were 80% to nearly full bloom, and some branches were beautiful in color with red, white, and pink plums. In the midst of the faint, refreshing scent of the plum blossoms, under a clear sky, the sight of the plum blossoms blooming up into the sky, and the grace of the gently sloping weeping plums, soothed my heart, and it was a very good day. The plum grove here at Osaka Castle can be reached in 5 to 10 minutes on foot from either the JR line or the subway, and there are plenty of sightseeing spots to do in addition to seeing Osaka Castle. JO Terrace is lined with restaurants, a rest area for jogging, Osaka Castle Hall, and a sightseeing boat ride. It is a tourist spot and a place of relaxation for the citizens of Osaka Prefecture. Its beauty is particularly captivating during cherry blossom season.
