To help you plan your visit, we’ve selected some of the best spots in Osaka that you can explore with Osaka JOINER guides. These locations combine history, culture, and peaceful scenery, making them perfect for both first-time visitors and returning travelers. --- ## **Osaka Castle Park** ![1772418022151](https://osakajoiner.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1772418022151.jpg?width=466&height=349&name=1772418022151.jpg)![1771472237715](https://osakajoiner.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1771472237715.jpg?width=262&height=349&name=1771472237715.jpg) Osaka Castle Park is one of the most iconic sakura spots in the city. With more than 3,000 cherry trees, the entire park turns pink during peak bloom. Visitors can enjoy both the blossoms and the rich history of the castle. The castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and played a key role in the unification of Japan. Today, it serves as a museum showcasing the history of the Toyotomi family and the battles that shaped Osaka during the shogunate era. With Osaka JOINER guides, you can walk through the park, learn its history, and enjoy the sakura at the same time. Our half-day tour allows you to experience not only Osaka Castle but also other highlights of the city.

Cherry trees line both sides of the river, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, photography, or a peaceful break during your day.   ---   ## **Kozugu Shrine** Located near the lively Namba area, Kozugu Shrine is a small yet charming hidden gem. Originally built in 866 and later relocated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583, the shrine sits quietly amid the urban landscape. During the sakura season, the contrast between the blossoms and the surrounding city creates a unique and picturesque atmosphere. Join our Ohanami tour (book via [Osaka JOINER](https://reserva.be/osaka_joiner/reserve?mode=service_staff&search_evt_no=43eJwzNTIxNjQGAAQ8ATM)) to learn more about the tradition of flower viewing while visiting carefully selected sakura spots. --- ## **Expo '70 Commemorative Park** Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, the former site of the 1970 World Expo, is now a vast public park with an entrance fee of 500 yen. Visitors can enjoy over 5,500 cherry trees along with seasonal flowers such as sunflowers and roses. Located about 30 minutes from Namba, the park is spacious enough to spend an entire day exploring. --- ## **Sakura Spots Beyond Osaka** Kyoto and Nara also offer many famous locations perfect for *ohanami*, the traditional custom of enjoying cherry blossoms.
