Nakanoshima Park was first established in Osaka City in 1891. Sandwiched between the Dojima River and the Tosabori River, this green city park with a length of approximately 1.5 km and an area of 11.3 ha is visited by many people, from children to adults. In addition to stately buildings such as the Central Public Hall and the Nakanoshima Prefectural Library, the park also opened a cultural facility called Children's Book Forest Nakanoshima in 2020.
Surrounded by pleasant lawns and dazzling green trees along the riverside, the park is a place where you can relax your mind and body.

Osaka Castle Park opened in 1931. Osaka Castle Park, which has an area of 105.6 hectares and has a castle tower at its core, is an urban park where you can enjoy Japan's four seasons, including a plum grove and Nishinomaru Garden, as well as a number of important cultural properties. The Osaka Castle Music Hall and Osaka Castle Hall are located within the park, where concerts and events are held every day, and on sunny days you can often see people enjoying running and walking. "COOL JAPAN PARK OSAKA", a new entertainment base in Osaka, opened in 2019 and is expected to become even more lively in the future.
The park is very large, so we recommend using a road train or electric car to get around.
3. Kema Sakuranomiya Park, a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing
Riverside Park is 4.2km long, stretching from Kemaaraiseki on the Okawa River to Tenmabashi Bridge downstream. Along the right bank, there are buildings representative of the early Meiji period, such as the Japan Mint and Senfu Kan, and the cherry blossom tree-lined promenade that follows the flow of the Okawa River is known as a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing. Approximately 4,800 cherry trees, including Yoshino cherry, Yamazakura, and Satozakura, are planted here, and many people visit during the cherry blossom viewing season every year.
Along the Okawa River, where many water buses and houseboats come and go, it's a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery with a cup of coffee in hand.
