The spring cherry blossom season is one of the best seasons to visit Osaka Castle. A lovely cherry blossom forest surrounds the castle and during cherry blossom season it gets framed in pink cotton balls. In Osaka, the cherry blossom festival is a significant occasion, and lots of people come to the castle to take in the show. You can find beautiful Nishinomaru Garden, perfect for cherry blossom viewing during the spring season as well as vibrant autumn foliage in the falls. Best time to visit, especially during cherry blossom season and if you're into photography, is sunrise for magical light and lesser crowds. Entry to the park is free 🏯
