#OsakaSakura From mid-March to mid-April, it is the annual cherry blossom season in Osaka🌸. Although the cherry blossoms in Osaka are not as abundant as those in Kyoto, they are still highly anticipated. There are many different cherry blossom viewing spots in Osaka alone. This time, we will introduce you to Kema Sakuranomiya Park, which is easy to reach. Kema Sakuranomiya Park is located near the Osaka Mint (I will introduce the Osaka Mint later 😊). The entire park covers a very large area, with more than 4,800 cherry trees planted in full bloom 🌸. It is located along the Okawa River, and the cherry blossoms that are more than 4 kilometers long are interwoven into a cherry blossom tunnel. Strolling along the riverside, the pink cherry blossom petals fall, it is an invincible romantic scene that can only be seen in Japanese dramas! You can feel it here in person, and there is no regret in this life.🥹 I saw many Japanese young people riding bicycles to this park, and then they would sit down in a vacant space, lie on the grass, and watch the cherry blossoms fall, leisurely appreciating all the beauty. They left indelible memories for their youth. (At this time, it seemed like I really entered an unreal comic world 🥹), and I felt inexplicably moved. Although Kema Sakuranomiya Park is in downtown Osaka, it is not crowded with people. It is very suitable for me who likes to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax, haha. If you are tired and don’t want to walk anymore, you can also take a cruise and enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms from different angles on both sides of the river. 🌟Every year during the cherry blossom season, there will be a cherry blossom festival. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can go a few days before or after the cherry blossom festival. I would choose to go a few days after the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. This is when the cherry blossoms are slowly falling. You can avoid the crowds and feel another kind of romance brought by the eve of the cherry blossoms falling💕. 🌟This year, the cherry blossoms in Osaka will bloom from mid-to-late March to mid-April. The cherry blossoms will bloom, burst, and fall. It all depends on your personal preference. Don't miss the annual cherry blossoms.😆 📍Address: Nakano-cho, Miyakojima-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 💰: Free 🚄Transportation: Tanimachi Line "T22 Temmabashi" or Keihan Railway "Temmabashi Station" Keihan East Exit, Exit 2. 🚄Just exit JR Sakuranomiya Station 🌟🚢Boat ride in the park: Hachikenjiahama Boat Terminal, the whole journey takes about 25-30 minutes 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-19:00 #Osaka #Osaka cherry blossom viewing #Kema Sakuranomiya Park #Japan #Osaka cherry blossom viewing spots

✨No.4 Tenjin Festival Fireworks (Osaka) The Tenjin Festival lasts for about a month from late June to July 25th every year.

At that time, more than 100 festival boats 🚢 will sail on the Okawa River in Osaka, and about 3,000 fireworks will light up the entire night sky 💡. The dazzling fireworks and the boats on the river complement each other. This is both a festival of fire and a festival of water. There is another highlight of the Tenjin Festival fireworks, which is Japan's unique plum blossom-shaped fireworks "Red Plum" 🌺. Don’t miss the opportunity to admire the beautiful blooming of red plum blossoms in the night sky when you visit the site. ⌚️Time: Sunset to around 21:00 📍Location: Kita-ku, Osaka City / Kawasaki Park, Sakuranomiya Park ✨No.5 Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival (Osaka) Different from the origins of many fireworks festivals, the predecessor of the Naniwa Fireworks Festival originated from a volunteer activity by local citizens in 1989🙋🏻‍♀️.

Since then, at the end of the Water Festival hosted by Suitengu every year, a fireworks display will be held, which has a history of more than 350 years. Today, as the leading fireworks festival in western Japan, there are two special venues for viewing fireworks, namely Kyomachi Venue and Sasayama Venue. Seeing the giant fireworks rising into the sky and reflected on the surface of the Chikugo River in the midsummer night sky is a 📷check-in activity not to be missed in Fukuoka. ⌚️Time: 19:40-20:10

You can also take pictures of cherry blossoms, JR trains, or Osaka Castle, which is very touching and beautiful! Walking along the bridge, I saw many people walking in the park and admiring the cherry blossoms below. The green buds of spring plants and the pink cherry blossoms are so beautiful. Thanks to the sunshine, the cherry blossoms look even more like sparkling gems. Since this cherry tree is closer to the bridge, it attracted many people to come and take pictures.

#cherryblossom25 Review (Traveler using #cherryblossom25): Kema Sakuranomiya Park was a total surprise — and a personal favorite for urban cherry blossom vibes. It stretches along the Okawa River and has over 5,000 cherry trees, which form these gorgeous pink corridors on both sides of the water. I walked from Temmabashi to Sakuranomiya Station, and it felt like I was gliding through a cherry blossom dream. Locals were out biking, jogging, and having super chill hanami picnics. What stood out here was the balance — peaceful but not empty, lively but not overwhelming. I even saw a couple getting wedding photos under the blossoms — talk about a perfect setting. I recommend going around golden hour when the river catches the sunset light and the petals shimmer in the breeze. This was my go-to “escape the crowds” spot in Osaka during my #cherryblossom25 adventure — highly recommend for photographers and quiet explorers alike.

My babies! Don’t think that this year’s cherry blossom season has ended quietly ~ the cherry blossoms in Osaka Sakuranomiya are still in full bloom! In the spring of 2025, at Sakura-no-Miya, even if the flowers cannot catch up with the splendor of full bloom, the fading cherry blossoms have their own Japanese aesthetic of mono no aware. Along the river, cherry trees are scattered in an orderly manner, with pink and white petals swaying on the branches. The breeze blows gently, and the petals fly like snow, falling down in a scattering manner, instantly putting people in a dreamland. There are few people here and the scenery is beautiful. There is no need to fight for a camera spot, and every shot you take will be a blockbuster. The river bank and the cherry blossoms complement each other, combining the natural beauty with the bustling atmosphere of the city. When you come here to check in, you can’t go wrong with mint green or light khaki as they go perfectly with the withered cherry blossoms. Bring a transparent umbrella with you, which can be used as a photo prop and can also catch the romantic rain of petals. What are you waiting for? Come to Sakuranomiya in Osaka and capture the last romance of spring! #Osaka Sakura

#Osaka Itinerary Standing on the banks of the Yodogawa River, the old Sakuranomiya Public Hall is a neoclassical building completed in 1931. Its white columns and light pink exterior walls perfectly embody the "Showa romance." As the largest existing pre-war guild hall in Japan, the stained glass dome and marble stairs inside still retain the gorgeous atmosphere of the dance party back then💃. The piano concert held on the third Sunday of every month makes the century-old building echo with moving melodies🎹. Passing through the Ginkgo Tunnel behind the Public Hall, you will arrive at the 4-kilometer-long Sakuranomiya Park. In spring, 4,000 Somei Yoshino cherry trees dye the river bank into a sea of ​​pink flowers, while in autumn, Ginkgo Avenue is covered with a golden carpet🍂. The most special thing is the "Water Corridor" in the park. The designer Tadao Ando created a hydrophilic space with bare concrete, which forms a wonderful contrast with Osaka Castle on the opposite bank. ℹ️ Travel information: - Former Sakuranomiya Public Hall, Sakuranomiya Park｜JR Sakuranomiya Station #OsakaArchitecturalAesthetics #Top100Cherry Blossom Spots #WaterfrontArtWalk

The iron bridge across the river is itself an excellent viewing platform. From the bridge, you can see the cherry blossom tunnel of the Mint upstream and the full-blooming river bank downstream at the same time. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun shone obliquely, the entire river surface was sparkling with reflections of cherry blossoms, and the cargo ship slowly passed by, creating pink ripples. Turn to Kema Sakuranomiya Park, where the 4-kilometer cherry blossom trees are at their best viewing period. Rent a bike and ride along the river bank, letting the petals blow through your hair like snowflakes. In the evening, when the lanterns light up one by one, the entire river suddenly turns into a pink galaxy. #Osaka Sakura Famous Spots #Temmabashi Bridge View #Sakuranomiya Bicycle #Night Sakura Experience #Riverside Flower Viewing
