Kema Sakuranomiya Park stretches along both banks of the Okawa River, offering one of Osaka's longest and most spectacular hanami corridors. Roughly 4,700 Somei Yoshino and Yamazakura trees create a tunnel of blossoms framing views of historic Osaka Mint Bureau and Osaka Castle in the distance. Renting a rowboat or taking a sightseeing cruise lets visitors experience the sakura canopy from the water. Evening illuminations reflect off the river, making yozakura strolls especially magical.
