Osaka Castle Nishinomaru Garden Admission Ticket

A stunning garden where about 300 cherry trees are in full bloom in spring

Located west of Osaka Castle's keep, Nishinomaru Garden is a beautiful garden with more than half of its approximately 6.5-hectare area covered in grass. About 300 cherry trees, mainly Somei Yoshino, are planted, making it a lively place every spring with people enjoying cherry blossom viewing. The scenery of the majestic Osaka Castle, various important cultural properties, and Japan's unique four seasons will provide a special experience that will make you forget your daily life even in the city. This place, where history and nature harmonize, is a healing spot that travelers to Osaka should visit at least once.

A garden to walk through with the history of Osaka Castle

Nishinomaru Garden, located west of Osaka Castle, was once a special area where the castle lord's family strolled. Traces of that time remain throughout the garden, allowing you to feel the history of the magnificent castle and the dignity of the traditional Japanese garden at the same time while taking a walk.
You can also find the most beautiful view point where you can see the castle tower and the moat at a glance, making it attractive to capture in photos. While in the center of Osaka, its tranquility, as if you have gone back in time, is charming.

Recommended Visiting Points

• During the cherry blossom season (late March to early April), you can enjoy the stunning view of Osaka Castle's keep and cherry blossoms together.
• The peak hours are from 10 AM to 2 PM, so we recommend visiting right after opening to enjoy it leisurely.
• There is the Osaka State Guest House in the garden, making it a great place to enjoy lunch or cafe time.
• The photo spot is the central lawn square where you can see the castle tower! During the day, cherry blossoms, and in the evening, the sunset-lit castle are great photo spots.
