Sakura season is coming soon!

Hello there! This is Yuka from Osaka Hana Hostel.

It is almost over in March as well.
There is a day to cool down occasionally, so we can not say that it will rush in spring yet.
However, the cherry blossom forecast predicts that Osaka has already started flowering.

Anyway, I think Osaka Castle is famous for cherry blossom, but there are many nice other places of cherry blossoms in Osaka.

☆Banpaku Memorial Park☆

About 5,500 trees are planted in the venue of the venue of the Japan World Exposition, 9 varieties including Yoshino cherry tree, Yamazakura, Yaezakura, and fern leaves.
Cherry blossoms are located in various places in the park and you can enjoy with your family because there are large playground equipment, museums and Japanese gardens!

It will be the light up in the night during the festival period, and you can feel a different atmosphere.

Place:1-1 Senribanpakukoen, Suita, Osaka Prefecture 〒565-0826
