Where to See Cherry Blossoms in Osaka
Introduction to Cherry Blossom Season
Cherry blossom (or sakura) season is the most beautiful time of the year in Japan. I have never realized how many cherry trees there are in Osaka, until they all started to bloom. Every street and every park that may have seemed shabby at first turned into the loveliest place covered in white and light pink flowers.

There’s no wonder that this time of the year also attracts the most tourists from all over the world. cherry blossoms in osaka where to see cherry blossoms in osaka
Best Things to do in Shinsekai
Shinsekai is a popular district in Osaka with undeniable retro vibe. Inspired by Western culture, architecture and fashion, Shinsekai is not your typical Japanese neighborhood. The word Shinsekai itself means the New World (shin = new; sekai = world) and that was exactly what it was supposed to be when it was built during pre-war era in 1912. Paris and Coney Island in New York were the models when building this area – the main feature of Shinsekai was the Tsutenkaku Tower, that in 1912 looked like the Eiffel Tower sitting on top of the Arc d’Triomphe. This was the main entrance to the Luna Park, which was inspired by popular amusement park in Coney Island. what to do in shinsekai
