Spring in Osaka

Located in the center of Osaka is the most recognized landmark, the Osaka castle. I was there in April, in time to lie under the fully bloomed sakuras and join the Osakians enjoy hanami at Nishinomaru park.
Hanami is a Japanese tradition when families and friends would sit under the cherry blossoms and have a picnic celebration.
The visit was completed with a walk to the magnificent castle to watch the sunset....I was awestruck from the sheer beauty of Japan.
