Osaka’s Underrated Springtime Escape

#springitinerary If you're in Osaka during spring and need a break from the city buzz, Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park is a total breath of fresh air, literally. This place is *huge* and way less crowded than spots like Osaka Castle Park, which makes it perfect for chill spring wandering. The cherry blossoms here are gorgeous, but what really sets it apart is the international garden area, tiny themed gardens from around the world, all in one park. It’s like world travel without the jet lag. There are ponds, bike paths, and enough green space to just sprawl out with snacks and vibes. Families, couples, and solo adventurers all find their corner here. And if you're into photography or just want a peaceful stroll surrounded by flowers, it's a spring dream. Bring a bento, soak in the sun, and enjoy one of Osaka’s best-kept spring secrets.
