Hattori Ryokuchi Park 🇯🇵

#cherryblossom2024 During my spring vacation, I had the pleasure of exploring the stunning Hattori Ryokuchi Park gardens in Osaka, Japan. 🌸🌳 This picturesque park offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers. The entrance fee to the park is quite affordable, making it accessible to all visitors. For just a small fee, I was able to immerse myself in the beauty of the park's lush greenery, colorful flowers, and tranquil ponds. 💐💦 One of the highlights of the gardens is undoubtedly the cherry blossom trees that bloom in abundance during the spring season. Walking beneath the canopy of pink and white blossoms was a truly magical experience that filled me with joy and wonder. 🌸✨ As I strolled along the winding pathways, I encountered various attractions within the park, including charming bridges, peaceful streams, and picturesque gazebos. Each corner of the garden offered a new discovery, and I found myself captivated by the beauty of my surroundings. 🍃🌺 For families with children, the park also features a playground area where little ones can run, play, and explore to their hearts' content. It's a great spot for families to enjoy quality time together amidst the natural beauty of the park. 👨👩👧👦🤸♂️ Overall, my visit to the Hattori Ryokuchi Park gardens was a highlight of my spring vacation—a peaceful retreat surrounded by the beauty of nature. It's a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the tranquility and serenity of Osaka's green spaces. 🇯🇵🌿 #HattoriRyokuchiPark #OsakaGardens #SpringInJapan #NatureEscape 🌸🌳

Dimsum takeaway

551 Horai I love their dimsum especially their meat buns, siew-mai dumplings and their famous pan-fried gyoza. This is a take-out restaurant so you have to eat it somewhere or bring it back to your hotel room. They have many branches. Usually, I will buy takeaway and eat it at the free seating area outside Universal Studios Japan. There is a 551 Horai branch in the public area outside USJ. It is not allowed to bring food into USJ so if you get screened, then you will have to eat it before they allow you to enter. I hope you can try out this dimsum shop when you are here. #japan #createwithtrip #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorer

Another great open space in Osaka is the Hattori Ryokuchi Park. It is located in Toyonaka-ku. It is popular for its open-air museum featuring old Japanese Farmhouses. I was actually just passing by when I was there so these are the only pictures I got. I loved the park because it has a variety of flowers blooming all around it, and it is such a huge hilly space. Definitely a spot to go if you are in Toyonaka Ward. #wintergetaway
