Osaka Castle

culture

A beautifully renovated castle which is surrounded by an even more breathtaking garden. With over 600 cherry blossom trees there is no better place to enjoy a picnic.

An escape from the city streets, the grounds of what was once the Osaka City Hall, are the perfect place to take a coffee and a good book. With views across the Okawa River and oodles of cherry trees, greenery, and shrubs; it's hard to believe you're just five minutes from the heart of the city.
