Beautiful Rose Garden in Osaka

#wecreate Nakanoshima Rose Garden 1-1 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka In the middle of Osaka city centre near Umeda lies the 24 hours open Nakanoshima Rose Garden and Nakanoshima Park. Around 4000 roses and 300 different rose species can be found in the garden, surrounded by tall skyscrapers. The best time to visit the garden will be around May to June, and October to November where most of the roses bloom. I visited around mid to late May and it's really quite nice. There's quite a lot of families and even a wedding shoot on the morning of my visit.

Nice and easily accessible park by the river. Clean and with many seating area and flowers. Good for morning walks and evening strolls. The park is safe for visitors with scenic views of the river alongside.. There are historical memorials in the park and it is well kept. Lovely stroll close to plenty of stations (Yodoyabashi, Nakanoshima, Tenmabashi...) and to a very nice shopping street (Tenjinbashi-suji). The location itself is pretty well located and offers you some interesting museums, architecture (at least you should visit the former Osaka town hall) and a beautiful rose garden. #givethanks #givethanks

Nakanoshima-shikinooka Park

#thingstodo Located between the Daibiru main building and the KEPCO headquarters, it is a small but well-maintained oasis on Nakanoshima with a variety of trees and flower saplings that are regularly replaced. It is lit up at Christmas time. The big and wonderful weeping cherry blossoms 88 are beautiful now. The weeping cherry blossoms reflected in the waterscape at your feet are truly beautiful.

A park in Osaka

#thingstodo A beautiful place just to take a walk by the river, lie in the sun with a book, or take the family for a picnic. With the odd event here and there and also the rose garden. If you walk west along the river there are a number of historical points with signboards discussing the history of the area and the importance of the trade and markets that were once there. Nice for a bike ride and only a stones throw from the Tenma shopping arcade(the longest in Japan), Tenmangu shrine, the Osaka mint and of course Osaka Castle just to name a few.

Nakanoshima Park

#thingstodo The garden is a nice open area, but unfortunately much of the green space is off limits for who knows how much of the year while the lawn grass is still growing. Good place for a walk during the day and a popular picnic place when it's nice out. The rose garden proper has benches around the flowers and there's a seasonal food place that caters at a small premium price for food that's probably not anything better than restaurants nearby. It's basically on an island or small peninsula in the middle of the river that you access by going down the steps from any of several bridges

When I was already exhausted during whole of roaming around Osaka, I found a quite place to rest, and that is Nakanoshima Park. It is sometimes called Nakanoshima Rose Garden. It is such a huge park. It has some Roses gardens, a river view, and a a couple of beautiful bridges on sight. It is located in Kita-ku is is usually peaceful. #wintergetaway
