3.26 Cherry Blossom Viewing Success! The Weeping Cherry Blossoms at Osaka Castle Have Quietly Bloomed

In this cherry blossom race, I successfully avoided the "cherry blossom refugees" crowd! On my first day in Osaka, I got to see the cherry blossoms as I wished—super lucky✌️

🌸 Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots

Osaka Castle Park｜Otemon Gate

The weeping cherry blossoms on the cover of my notes come from here! The weeping cherry blossoms are not yet in full bloom, but the parts that have opened are already stunningly beautiful. Currently, only one weeping cherry tree is blooming well, while most others are still buds. In my opinion, they will gradually bloom over the next few days, and by 3.29, they should be in full bloom, definitely breathtaking!

Osaka Castle Park｜Honmaru Japanese Garden

The weeping cherry blossoms by the garden pond have started to bloom sparsely. Here, you can not only enjoy the cherry blossoms but also capture the reflection of the castle tower in the water, easily snapping photos at the same spot as Hattori Heiji, with a very high chance of great shots!

Morinomiya Subway Station｜Exit B3

As soon as you exit B3, you can see a large area of blossoms. Although some say they might be plum blossoms, it doesn’t affect their beauty at all. However, the weather has been hot recently, and the flowers looked a bit wilted today. It’s going to rain tomorrow, so this patch of flowers probably won’t last long—if you want to check it out, do it soon.

🗺️ Recommended One-Day Cherry Blossom Viewing Route in Osaka

• Sakuranomiya Park: Famous for its large cherry blossom trees, walking here feels like being surrounded by a sea of pink and white flowers.

• Mint Bureau: Every cherry blossom season, a special path is opened here to see various rare cherry blossom varieties.

• Tenmabashi: When the cherry blossoms bloom along both sides of the canal, they complement the bridge beautifully, full of Japanese romance.

• Osaka Castle Park: As mentioned earlier, there are many spots for viewing and taking photos that look great on camera.

Today, I only visited Osaka Castle Park, strolling and taking photos leisurely for two hours—very relaxing. Imagine how stunning it will be during full bloom! Everyone, take advantage of the blooming season and come to Osaka for cherry blossom viewing🌸
