📍Nakanoshima Park is a city park with a cartoon-like view, surrounded by buildings and rivers. It is located at Kitamaha Station, Osaka. The highlight is that it is located in the middle of the city, surrounded by tall buildings. There are two rivers flowing through it. You can walk and take pictures for free. 🌹Highly recommended. During the time I went, from mid-May onwards, there will be more than 3,700 rose trees of various species planted. There will be a lot of Japanese people, bringing their parents and young children to take pictures and walk around. The pictures that come out are very beautiful. Inside the park, there is also a beer garden and a coffee shop. Nakanoshima Park Osaka #TravelJapan #Osaka #osakajapan

There is a beautiful rose garden on Nakanoshima, which floats on the Yodo River. ✨ It's not free quality. ✨ It's perfect for stopping by after a cafe or lunch in Kitahama. Some people were taking photos in cosplay. If there was a place like this nearby, it would be a daily walking route. ✨ The best time to see them is around May and October! There are about 310 varieties and 3700 roses. There are many varieties, but many of them look almost the same. lol There are many unique names for the flowers, so it's interesting to just go and look at the names. ^_^ #OsakaSightseeing#777

As someone who loves art museums so much, when I travel to other countries or regions, one of my habits is to visit art museums in those areas! I recommend the ‘Nakanoshima Art Museum’, which is very clean, quiet, and well-prepared! Currently, the main exhibition is being held, and although I usually knew little about Muha, I came to love Muha more through this exhibition! In particular, this exhibition exhibits many works in the state and test printing stages, so I was able to enjoy it even more! I was able to take pictures except for some, and it was also fun to look around the goods shop after the exhibition was over~~ I recommend it to those who have something to do nearby!! Oh! Don't forget to take a picture with the Nakanoshima Art Museum's mascot cat statue in front of the building! ‼️TIP 1. There is a locker in the museum! You need a 100 yen coin!

Recently, the clouds often turn red as the sun sets, creating breathtaking views during a walk. The riverside path stretches from Yodoyabashi to Tenmabashi, making it easy and pleasant to walk. The breeze feels so refreshing that you might forget you're in the city. Just sitting on a bench and gazing at the sunset can be incredibly soothing. The photo was taken around 6 PM, just as the sky started to turn red. The time right before sunset is especially recommended! At night, some spots are illuminated, transforming the area into a magical atmosphere. Nakanoshima at night offers a completely different kind of enjoyment.

#japanitinerary This wonderful fountain is located at the easternmost part of Nakanoshima Park, an oasis in the city. You can go from Yodoyabashi and Nambabashi without using stairs, so people in wheelchairs and bicycles can come and go without hesitation. It’s s nice to take a leisurely walk from one end of Nakanoshima Park to the other. At its eastern end is the sword tip fountain. Water is sprayed for five minutes at midnight and 12:30 from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. On sunny days, you can sometimes see a rainbow from the circular fountain.

#Osaka Shopping Guide Nakanoshima is sandwiched between the Dojima River and the Tosabori River, which flow from east to west through the central part of Osaka City. It is the administrative, economic and cultural center of Osaka City. In addition to the city administration building, banks, and newspapers, there are also various cultural facilities such as parks, art galleries, and libraries. The riverside trail is very suitable for citywalk. Along the way, you can see the Asahi Shimbun and Osaka Conrad high-rise buildings towering into the sky. The Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library and Osaka City Central Public Hall are Western buildings built 100 years ago. The brick and stone structure exudes a romantic atmosphere of literary retro. As a major partner of the 2025 Osaka World Expo, Kansai Electric Power has set up a photo-taking check-in point for the mascot Maimai in the headquarters building, and then the destination of this trip: the black box-like Nakanoshima Art Museum.

You can walk to the east end. It is very quiet. Some people are sunbathing, and some are reading and chatting on the lawn. The sky is clear and the weather is getting hot. It is still quite comfortable. The rose garden extends along the north waterfront to the ceramic museum. If you walk to the middle of Nakanoshima, there is also a section of roses on the south bank. In short, if you go to Osaka at this time, don’t just rush to the World Expo and shopping. Nakanoshima is worth spending time to enjoy the elegance of Osaka at the water.

#大坂之旅 As a J person, it's rare for me to want to P (be casual) for once, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to work on it overnight. However, it is still recommended that you have a general direction first, and then stroll around leisurely, so that the experience will be better. Now I will share with you my first day route~ Umeda——Nakasaki Town——Kitahama The entire street along Kitabin is full of places to eat, drink and sit.
