Kema Sakuranomiya Park

Osaka's Largest Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot

Kema Sakuranomiya Park extending about 5km along the Okawa River has approximately 4,700 cherry trees (mainly Somei Yoshino), Osaka's largest cherry blossom avenue. During the bloom period from late March to early April, over 1 million visitors cumulatively visit this Osaka symbol of spring.

Cherry Blossom Viewing Enjoyment

In the park, cherry blossoms can be enjoyed on both sides of the Okawa River as the Mint Bureau cherry walk occurs simultaneously in early April each year. Blue sheet picnics are Osaka style, bustling with families and company colleagues.

Yakatabune and Cruises

During cherry blossom season, enjoying cherry blossoms from yakatabune boats plying the Okawa is also popular. Dining and drinking on yakatabune while simultaneously enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms is a special experience.

Combination with Mint Bureau

The Mint Bureau is right next to Kema Sakuranomiya Park, enjoyable simultaneously during the cherry walk period. Convenient access from Temmabashi and Sakuranomiya stations makes this a standard Osaka spring tourism course.
