Suita Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

cherry blossom picnics

Location: Osaka Expo 70 Commemorative Park Do drop by here if you are chasing cherry blossom in Osaka. We reached at 10am and there wasnt much crowd. There are countless cherry blossom trees here and the park also has other flower such as tulips. We did what japanese does which is to picnic! No worries about preparing your own food as thrre is a 7-11 right where you alight at the station. Entrance fee applies but it isnt expensive. There is also a big mall right beside the station. So drop by for food and shopping! #cherryblossom #osaka #japan

🪷 My special Expo 70 Commemorative Park

#cherryblossom2024 💮🤗 During our wonderful vacation, I set off on an exciting journey to the bustling metropolis of Japan. The arrival of spring had added a unique allure to the environment, and we felt refreshed as we explored the renowned Expo ’70 Commemorative Park. Delving into the luxurious scenery of this picturesque sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking vistas that welcomed us at every corner. Osaka’s Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, a place of historical significance, continues to attract visitors even after more than half a century since it hosted the World Exposition. With over 5,500 cherry trees, the park provides a delightful opportunity to admire nine different varieties, ranging from the elegant Yoshino to the graceful weeping cherry trees. For a picturesque hanami picnic, the park offers ample open spaces, particularly around the magnificent Tower of the Sun sculpture by renowned artist Taro Okamoto. Entrance fee is a mere ¥260, a small price to pay for the enchanting experience of witnessing the illuminated sakura trees in the evening. The lavish and captivating refuge has etched an everlasting memory in the deepest corners of my mind. The sheer joy of revisiting and savoring every moment in this unmatched haven is truly unparalleled.🌸🌼😘 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Great Hanami in A Famous Park

#cherryblossom2024 A grand flowering in a grand park The Expo-70 Memorial Park is worth a visit anyway. A walk through the vast area can easily take an entire day. However, it is especially beautiful here in the midst of cherry blossoms. Couples in love, families, friends and colleagues tend to go to the park to drink, relax and unwind. How to get there If you drive from Shin-Osaka or Umeda station on the Midosuji Subway line, you should get off at Senri-Chuo Station. After that, you need to switch to the monorail and drive two stops to Banpaku-Kinen-Koen station. The bus stop is right in front of the park. Planning a trip Sakura usually blooms in the first or second week of April. If you are in Japan at this time, take time for a leisurely rest in the memorial park and appreciate its landscapes. Locals often party here late into the night.

Nakanoshima Park

#2024wish This park seems to be popular among families with young children and athletes. There’s a lot of sitting areas and trees to provide shade from the sun. There weren’t a lot of roses in bloom, but I believe it would be beautiful during roses season. Nice to look at the sights, buildings, and a calm walk by the river.

Tulip & Sunflower Garden

#springblossom Beautiful shades and arrangements of tulips. Must visit if one can be there in the morning before it gets too sunny.. Can eaaily spend 2 hours enjoying nature. This place is beautiful in summer as well. And flower festival are being held here too. Would recommend this place any season. Worth it..........................................

Another popular landmark of Osaka is the Tower of the Sun. This unique building created by the Japanese artist Taro Okamoto is located in Suita, Osaka. This art has 3 faces located on its front and back. The of the Tower of the Sun is located near the Expo City and Expo Park, so there are loads of things you can do in this location. It's such a masterpiece. JR Ibaraki train station is nearest to this park. I had a great relaxing place in this park. Recommended! #wintergetaway
