 Tips about Nishinomaru Garden

Nishinomaru Garden, adjacent to Osaka Castle, offers a serene retreat with its themed light displays, especially enchanting during the winter Illuminage event. The tranquil park boasts historic significance from being the former residence of Kita no Mandokoro, with cherry blossoms creating a mesmerizing canopy in spring. Despite being more of a field with a wooden turret, the garden provides an authentic glimpse into Japan's past. Visit in the evening for a stunning illuminated view and don't miss out on the ¥200 entrance fee—a steal for memorable photos of Osaka Castle. Remember to bundle up warmly in colder months for an enjoyable experience!
