Nagai Park is located on the south of Osaka and it may not be big in size, but it features great sports facilities and a botanical garden with around 10,000 hydrangea flowers surrounding a small stream. Because it’s a little bit further from the city, it is not too crowded and you can take some beautiful photos here.
Beside hydrangeas you can also admire here roses, palm trees, irises, water lilies, rhododendrons, wild flowers and many other. Within the park, there’s also an open-air ‘boho’ bar and a Museum of Natural History showcasing paleontology exhibits.
