2026 Moriguchi Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

When you first arrive in Osaka, besides "Universal Studios," "Shinsaibashi shopping," and "Dotonbori cuisine," there are many small spots that "heal the soul." Tsurumi Ryokuchi (Expo '90 Commemorative Park Tsurumi Ryokuchi) is known as "Osaka's most beautiful four-season park," where you can enjoy the natural changes from spring cherry blossoms to autumn ginkgo. The park features a greenhouse, flower exhibition hall, and vast lawns. Strolling through the sea of flowers in front of the windmill makes time feel gentle. Nakanoshima Park, located in the heart of Osaka, is as quiet as an "oasis." Surrounded by the Dojima and Tosabori Rivers, it exudes a strong European atmosphere. Whether walking, picnicking, or reading to relax, the evening lights and their reflections on the river make it hard to leave. Minoo Falls + Ooedo Onsen Minoo Onsen is the most popular healing route near Osaka. Walk along the maple leaf trail to the waterfall to feel the grandeur of nature; then soak in the hot springs to wash away fatigue. During the autumn foliage season, a dreamy healing journey awaits you. Settsu Gorge Park, located in Takatsuki City, is called "Osaka's Little Kyoto." Rivers, valleys, and forests intertwine, making it perfect for camping, hiking, and barbecues. The scenery changes with the seasons, offering a retreat from the city's hustle and bustle to enjoy nature. Come check in and experience the tranquility and beauty of Osaka!

#OsakaSakura The Flower Expo Memorial Park #Tsurumi-ryokuchi, which once hosted the Flower Expo, is also one of Osaka's cherry blossom viewing spots. Although it is not as well-known and crowded as the Mint and Osaka Castle, the vast 123-hectare park is beautiful and romantic from March to April when various types of cherry blossoms such as Kawazu cherry, Somei Yoshino cherry, and Sunshine cherry bloom in sequence in the park. Tsurumi Park is large enough to effectively disperse the crowds, so you can enjoy cherry blossoms without being crowded. You can also appreciate other flowers in the greenhouse and garden landscapes from all over the world. It is definitely worth a visit. As for transportation, it is also very convenient. You can take the subway directly to Tsurumi-ryokuchi Station, and the park is right outside the station. #Osaka #Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park #Osaka Sakura

I didn't expect that Osaka Sushiro can actually eat Caleb chips😆 Although Sushiro has increased its price, it is cheaper than in Hong Kong because of the low price of Japanese yen. Eating sushi in Japan must be fresher and tastier than in Hong Kong (in fact and psychologically), plus many sushi styles are not available in Hong Kong. So you can eat like crazy without any shame. #japanesefood #japanesesushi #sushiro #overseastravel #japantravel #japanesefood
