Come here to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring: Osaka

Spring is back, when else would you go to Japan? While the New Year holiday is still here, let’s go to Osaka to enjoy the cherry blossoms! 📍Transportation: Take the subway, bus, and JR to various attractions 🌟Highlights of the trip: ✅Osaka Castle Park: A must-see for every tourist visiting Osaka. With the castle tower as the center, more than 3,000 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino and Yaezakura, bloom one after another from March to April every year. ✅The Cherry Blossom Passage in the Mint: The finale of the cherry blossom season. The Cherry Blossom Passage in the bureau is about 560 meters long, with nearly 370 cherry trees planted along the way. Although the number is not large, there are as many as 125 varieties. ✅ Kema Sakuranomiya Park: Located along the Osaka River, it is also the filming location for many well-known film and television dramas. The total length is about 4.2 kilometers, and about 4,800 cherry trees are in full bloom. ✅Shitennoji Temple: One of the oldest temples in Japan, with a history of more than 1,400 years. The five-story pagoda is the symbol of the temple. In addition, there are national treasures and cultural relics museums inside, which are worth checking out. ✅Expo Commemorative Park: The place where Japan held the Expo that year. The "Tower of the Sun" designed by national treasure architect Taro Okamoto is an important landmark. The mountain cherry blossoms and weeping cherry blossoms here are also very beautiful. ✨Tour Tips: ✅There is a standard cherry tree in Osaka Castle Park, which is said to be the weather vane of Osaka's cherry blossom season. In addition, Nishinomaru Gardens is a sparsely populated cherry blossom viewing spot with beautiful scenery. If you want to take photos, remember to check in. ✅The Cherry Blossom Avenue at the Mint opens relatively late, so if you come here in March, you will basically miss the avenue. Cherry Blossom Avenue is only open for one week each year, so it is recommended to check the time before coming to avoid being disappointed. ✅Two ways to visit Kema Sakura-no-Miya: take the Osaka Water Bus to see the beautiful scenery of Okawa during the cherry blossom season, or enjoy the night cherry blossoms. Either way, you can unlock a pink Osaka. ✅Opposite the Expo 7000 Commemorative Park is the largest complex plaza, which has everything for eating, drinking and entertainment. After shopping in the mall, I went to the park to check out the beautiful night cherry blossoms, which made the trip perfect. ✅When taking photos of cherry blossoms at Shitennoji Temple, it is recommended to use the five-story pagoda as the background. The Pure Land Garden in the temple is dotted with cherry blossoms in spring, making it look like a dream. You can easily take great photos.
