A must-go during Osaka's cherry blossom season😍 Mint Cherry Blossom Avenue🌸It's stunning✨

⛰When it comes to cherry blossom viewing in Kansai, classic locations such as Mount Yoshino in Nara, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, and Osaka Castle in Osaka always grab the spotlight. ⛩ But in fact, in Osaka, there is also a niche cherry blossom viewing spot, which is open for just 7 days only at the end of the cherry blossom season in mid-April every year! 🔹 Mint Factory 🏭The original site of the Osaka Main Bureau of the Japanese Mint was a thermal power plant, built in 1911 and converted into a mint in 1969. Since it was built during the Meiji era when Japan was open to the Western world, the Western style was adopted. 🪙The museum displays many rare coins from Japan and the world, and also collects the world's oldest English-Japanese dictionary and Japan's earliest Western-style gas lamp💡. When visiting, you can watch the coin making process through the glass, and even touch real gold and silver pieces💰 🔹Cherry Blossom Passage 🔒 The Osaka Mint has strict access control on weekdays and only opens some areas of the museum and factory to visit. But every year during the cherry blossom season, the door ban will be lifted, open for a week to visit for free, a rare opportunity🎆 🌸Cherry Blossom Passage is a 560-meter-long cherry blossom viewing avenue from the south gate entering and exiting the north gate.
