Location: 2-290-1 Ikejiri Naka, Osakasayama, Osaka Prefecture The Osaka Prefectural Sayamaike Museum, designed by the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, is a modern museum dedicated to the history and culture of Sayamaike, Japan's oldest irrigation pond. The museum provides detailed insights into the archaeological sites and historical background of Sayamaike. The building itself is a highlight, blending the aesthetics of water, light, and concrete. 🌟 Highlights • Architectural Beauty: Tadao Ando's design combines the pond and the museum, showcasing a unique modern feel through flowing water features and concrete walls. • Water Views: From the museum's windows, visitors can enjoy the serene view of Sayamaike, with its mirror-like surface offering a sense of tranquility. 🚶♂️ Transportation and Tips The museum is about a 20-minute walk from Kongo Station or Osakasayamashi Station on the Nankai Koya Line, or you can take a bus directly to the museum. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and you can also explore the natural scenery around Sayamaike. Admission is free, making it an ideal spot for visitors interested in history and architecture.

If you're planning to visit the Chikatsu Asuka Museum, also operated by Osaka Prefecture, I highly recommend stopping by the Sayamaike Museum as well. I managed to slip in just before closing time. This museum is also designed by Tadao Ando, and admission is free. Osaka Sayama City is amazing! 👏👏 You can learn about the history and flood control of Sayamaike, starting from the time of Gyoki. 🕰️ Hours: 10 AM to 5 PM 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: A museum by the side of Sayamaike 📍 Location: 2-chome, Ikejiri Naka, Osaka Sayama City, Osaka Prefecture 💰 Price per person: Free 💞 Recommended reason: The geological layer exhibits are stunning‼️

This is Sayamaike Park, which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Historical Parks! It is said that this is the best place to see cherry blossoms in Osaka Prefecture. There are also double cherry blossoms that bloom in mid-April, making it a spot where you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing for a long period of time! There are not many foreign tourists, so it is relatively quiet and I think it is a hidden gem. There is a parking lot, but it was full quite early, so you need to be careful! There is also a cafe, so you can warm up in the cold season! Maybe because of the pond, the wind is strong and it is quite cold❄️ #PR#Osaka Tourism

In the blink of an eye, it's the annual cherry blossom season again 🌸 Based on my personal experience of cherry blossom viewing over the years, I recommend 5⃣️ cherry blossom viewing spots to everyone ✨ They should be the best of the best 👍 🖼️Picture 1⃣️: Haradani-en near Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. This is a place that is only open during cherry blossom season every year. There are various types of cherry blossom trees planted in the garden, and when they are in full bloom during cherry blossom season, the sky here turns pink and cherry blossom petals float in the air. Sitting under a cherry blossom tree and enjoying a special cherry blossom bento box is a unique moment for the people of Kyoto to appreciate the cherry blossoms. Transportation: Take Kyoto City Bus M1 and get off at the front of Haratani Agricultural Cooperative. Tickets: Prices vary depending on the blooming situation, with adult tickets starting at 1200 Japanese yen and children's tickets starting at 500 Japanese yen (blooming from late March to early April 🌸). Image 2⃣️: Kasumigaike Park near Osaka Castle. Take the Nansha tram to Jingang Station (take the express), get off and walk for about 10 minutes, then you can arrive. Walk along the pool, there is a row of fully blooming cherry blossoms, and then you can walk to a cherry blossom tunnel, which is very suitable for taking pictures. On the way back by tram, there is a row of cherry blossoms along one side of the track, which is very beautiful‼️ Cost, free park (blooming from late March to early April 🌸) 📷3️⃣️ Purple clouds over the mountains of Seto Inland Sea. Ziyun Mountain was selected by Yahoo as one of the top 15 cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. In January 2019, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea were ranked 7th on The New York Times' list of 52 places to go in 2019, with Ziyun Mountain as the main attraction. The most attractive charm of Ziyun Mountain is the beautiful backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea with its many islands, combined with flowers blooming in different seasons, such as the pink cherry blossoms that cover the mountains in spring, the daffodils on the slopes, and the huge hydrangeas in summer. Although it is not the season for flowers in autumn and winter, the clear air and the unique beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, which is as calm as an ink painting, and the small islands dotted on the sea surface, bring travelers a different charming experience‼️ 📷4️⃣️ Takarazuka's cherry blossom viewing spot, Shuraku-en This time, we will introduce the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" on the Takarazuka cherry blossom viewing walking route. This is a walking route from the Minami-Bunka station in Takarazuka, located in a quiet residential area called Jorakuso, where there are few people even during the cherry blossom season. 👌 On both sides of the road are cherry blossom trees, and during the season of cherry blossom blooming, it's like a cherry blossom tunnel! Get off at Hankyu Dentetsu Imazu Line Takarazuka Minami-guchi Station and walk for about 12 minutes ‼️ 📷5⃣️The ruins of Fujiwara Palace in Nara The only place in the Kansai region where you can enjoy both rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms at the same time 🌸 is located in Kashihara City, Nara. It is divided into different areas, each planting plants that bloom according to the season, such as rapeseed flowers in spring, lotus flowers in summer, and chrysanthemums in autumn...etc. The most recommended view is the combination of rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms‼️ Transportation: About a 30-minute walk from JR "Ubobo" station.
