Utsubo Park

靭公園

Osaka · Kansai

Utsubo Park is a long, narrow green strip in the heart of Osaka's business district, with spacious lawns, tree-lined promenades and tennis courts — a favourite lunchtime and picnic spot for locals. Its rose garden holds around 170 varieties, flowering in mid-May and again in October.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on larger attractions in Osaka, overlooking this peaceful retreat.
