Umekita Plaza at Grand Green Osaka As you step into Umekita Park, the first thing that catches your eye is the "large roof" designed by the architectural unit SANAA. It envelops the space with three soft curves spanning 120 meters from north to south, beneath which lies a complex facility featuring the information dissemination center "PLAT UMEKITA," along with cafes and large event spaces. Surrounding it is the spiral staircase "Gate Lantern," which serves as a guiding light for people at night. The plants in the park are primarily selected from those native to the Uemachi Plateau in Osaka, evoking the city's history and culture. Trees that change color in autumn, such as cherry blossoms, maple trees, and katsura, along with flowers like azaleas and camellias, showcase the beauty of Japanese nature throughout the seasons. Why not take a leisurely stroll in the park, where the scenery changes with the seasons? You wouldn't believe that this is in the middle of the city There were hydrangeas blooming... It's a nice plaza filled with greenery in Umeda, Osaka... A great place has been created in the city center 😊😊😊.

【A Summer Retreat Behind the Hotel】 You can feel the temperature rising sharply, and the hot summer is approaching. The cool breeze in the mornings and evenings is refreshing.🎐🍃 For those who want to enjoy a refreshing atmosphere, I recommend "Korakuen Garden," a traditional Japanese garden located behind Hotel Rimu. The spring foliage and azaleas stand out beautifully against the greenery. The white flowers are Japanese andromeda. In kanji, it's written as "馬酔木". The leaves are toxic, and horses that eat them can become numb and unable to walk properly. This is said to be the origin of the names Ashibi and Asebi. The gazebo in the garden is perfect for potluck picnics or enjoying tea at a leisurely pace. The sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and the chirping of little birds will soothe your ears. #興楽園 #純日本庭園 #避暑

【Night Cherry Blossom Illumination and Tea Ceremony】 Despite being covered in snow and exposed to strong winds, the cherry blossoms remained intact. For two days following the holiday at the beginning of May, a night cherry blossom illumination and tea ceremony were held. This location, situated behind Korakuen Garden, is a perfect spot for viewing the Ezo cherry trees. As the sky darkened, the scattered lights gradually intensified in brightness. Visitors gazed in admiration at the sparkling cherry trees, branches, and petals. While enjoying the illuminated night cherry blossoms, we savored sweets and tea, making for a delightful evening.🌙 Illumination Support: Nishiokoppe Gakkai #Tea Ceremony
