【Osaka Castle｜A Spring Destination Surrounded by Cherry Blossoms! The Ultimate Castle × Cherry Blossom Viewing Combo】

When it comes to iconic spring spots in Osaka… it’s definitely Osaka Castle! Surrounded by fully bloomed cherry blossoms, the view perfectly symbolizes “spring in Japan.” The cherry blossoms blooming proudly against the backdrop of the majestic stone walls and the castle tower make for stunning photos! Whether with a smartphone or a DSLR, every shot is picture-perfect✨

During cherry blossom season, the entire Osaka Castle Park turns pink, fully embracing hanami mode! The most popular spot is the “Nishinomaru Garden” area. About 300 Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom all at once, and you can enjoy a leisurely picnic on the lawn while admiring the blossoms. At night, the area is lit up, transforming into a magical atmosphere🌙

And! Actually, there are many other hanami spots nearby. Along the Okawa River on the Osaka Business Park side, the rows of cherry trees lining both banks are breathtaking! It’s perfect for a relaxing walk along the promenade or having tea at a riverside café… a perfect spring stroll to feel the cherry blossoms♪
