Nishinomaru Garden · Small Bridge and Flowing Water

#OsakaAttractions

The Nishinomaru Garden is lush with green grass, complemented by carefully trimmed trees, and a small stone bridge spanning the gently flowing water. It truly feels like stepping into a Japanese painting. The clear water reflects the blue sky and tree shadows, with a few fallen leaves drifting by occasionally, so peaceful it makes you want to slow down. This "small bridge and flowing water" beauty really embodies the Zen spirit of a Japanese garden, instantly making me forget the city's hustle and bustle. 🍃

Walking further, I arrived at an open lawn where Osaka Castle’s main keep appears faintly in the distance, creating a harmonious contrast with the nearby natural scenery. Listening to the wind and distant bird songs, I felt completely healed by this garden. For a moment, I even felt like an ancient traveler seeking peace of mind in this tranquil place. 🐦

Of course, as a photo enthusiast, how could I miss capturing the beauty here? 📸 By the small bridge, beside the flowing water, and among the carefully arranged stones and plants, every angle looks postcard-perfect. Especially at dusk, when the sunset glistens on the water, casting golden light and the silhouette of the small bridge—it’s incredibly romantic! I took so many photos and couldn’t help but post on Instagram… which earned me a bunch of amazed comments asking, "Where is this?" 🌅
