Sayamaike Park is a picturesque cherry blossom destination built around Sayamaike Reservoir, one of Japan’s oldest irrigation ponds.

The cherry trees line the walking paths around the reservoir, providing a beautiful contrast between the pink petals and the shimmering water.

The park is well-maintained, with spacious paths for leisurely walks, making it an ideal location for hanami picnics and photography. The reflections of the cherry blossoms on the water create an especially breathtaking view at sunrise and sunset. If you’re looking for a peaceful and historic cherry blossom experience away from the city center, Sayamaike Park is a great choice.

#大坂樱花 In Osaka's spring, Sayamaike Park is like a dreamlike painting, and the sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom is amazing. This is not only a secret base for locals, but also a cherry blossom viewing spot in the hearts of every traveler. Strolling in the pink cherry blossom tunnel, with the breeze blowing and the petals falling like rain, you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. Every moment makes people feel the beauty and fragility of life, which makes people intoxicated. This park has a history of 1,400 years. It was once built for agricultural irrigation. It has gone through countless years and still retains its charm. The lake reflects the pink cherry blossoms, as if time has stopped here, making people want to stop and savor the beauty. Compared with Osaka Castle Park, there are relatively fewer tourists here, allowing people to leisurely enjoy the tranquility and feel the comfort of nature. When I stood by the lake and looked at the swaying cherry blossoms on the trees, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. This is a place where people can let go of their worries and their minds can be freed like never before. People laugh, take pictures and share their love for life here. Every smile is as bright as cherry blossoms, making me feel the connection between people. This is the magic of travel. In this beautiful scenery, I deeply feel the preciousness of life. The blooming and withering of cherry blossoms make people understand the importance of cherishing the present. No matter how beautiful life is, it will inevitably end, but that is precisely why every moment seems so precious. At this moment, I am dancing with the cherry blossoms, my heart is full of gratitude. I hope this beauty can remain in my heart forever.

In the blink of an eye, it's the annual cherry blossom season again 🌸 Based on my personal experience of cherry blossom viewing over the years, I recommend 5⃣️ cherry blossom viewing spots to everyone ✨ They should be the best of the best 👍 🖼️Picture 1⃣️: Haradani-en near Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. This is a place that is only open during cherry blossom season every year. There are various types of cherry blossom trees planted in the garden, and when they are in full bloom during cherry blossom season, the sky here turns pink and cherry blossom petals float in the air. Sitting under a cherry blossom tree and enjoying a special cherry blossom bento box is a unique moment for the people of Kyoto to appreciate the cherry blossoms. Transportation: Take Kyoto City Bus M1 and get off at the front of Haratani Agricultural Cooperative. Tickets: Prices vary depending on the blooming situation, with adult tickets starting at 1200 Japanese yen and children's tickets starting at 500 Japanese yen (blooming from late March to early April 🌸). Image 2⃣️: Kasumigaike Park near Osaka Castle. Take the Nansha tram to Jingang Station (take the express), get off and walk for about 10 minutes, then you can arrive. Walk along the pool, there is a row of fully blooming cherry blossoms, and then you can walk to a cherry blossom tunnel, which is very suitable for taking pictures. On the way back by tram, there is a row of cherry blossoms along one side of the track, which is very beautiful‼️ Cost, free park (blooming from late March to early April 🌸) 📷3️⃣️ Purple clouds over the mountains of Seto Inland Sea. Ziyun Mountain was selected by Yahoo as one of the top 15 cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. In January 2019, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea were ranked 7th on The New York Times' list of 52 places to go in 2019, with Ziyun Mountain as the main attraction. The most attractive charm of Ziyun Mountain is the beautiful backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea with its many islands, combined with flowers blooming in different seasons, such as the pink cherry blossoms that cover the mountains in spring, the daffodils on the slopes, and the huge hydrangeas in summer. Although it is not the season for flowers in autumn and winter, the clear air and the unique beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, which is as calm as an ink painting, and the small islands dotted on the sea surface, bring travelers a different charming experience‼️ 📷4️⃣️ Takarazuka's cherry blossom viewing spot, Shuraku-en This time, we will introduce the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" on the Takarazuka cherry blossom viewing walking route. This is a walking route from the Minami-Bunka station in Takarazuka, located in a quiet residential area called Jorakuso, where there are few people even during the cherry blossom season. 👌 On both sides of the road are cherry blossom trees, and during the season of cherry blossom blooming, it's like a cherry blossom tunnel! Get off at Hankyu Dentetsu Imazu Line Takarazuka Minami-guchi Station and walk for about 12 minutes ‼️ 📷5⃣️The ruins of Fujiwara Palace in Nara The only place in the Kansai region where you can enjoy both rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms at the same time 🌸 is located in Kashihara City, Nara. It is divided into different areas, each planting plants that bloom according to the season, such as rapeseed flowers in spring, lotus flowers in summer, and chrysanthemums in autumn...etc. The most recommended view is the combination of rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms‼️ Transportation: About a 30-minute walk from JR "Ubobo" station.
