The cherry blossom avenue of the Osaka Mint Bureau is called "桜の通り抜け". In addition to the mint museum inside the Mint Bureau, there is the cherry blossom avenue called the Sakura Museum outside.There are currently 134 varieties of cherry blossoms in the Osaka Mint. Since 1991 (Heisei 3), the Mint will select the annual representative flower every year. It is different and not repeated every year.

Cherry blossom viewing experience and precautions at Osaka Mint

The cherry blossom viewing route of the Osaka Mint is very simple. It is a one-way road from the south gate to the north gate, which is 560 meters long. Admission is completely free.On the left hand side of the south gate entrance is the commemorative coin sales office, where you can buy the commemorative coins issued during the year. There are toilets at the south gate and the north gate. Because it is a one-way pass, those who accompany the elders, remember to remind you first.The Mint, which has been open for only a week, is crowded almost all the time. You can go slowly. Don't go in the opposite direction.

In addition, because it is a one-way traffic, people who leave the station from "Osaka Tenmumiya Station" and "Osaka Castle Kitakami Station" remember that they have to walk to the south entrance.After the tour, you can leave from the north gate or the park exit. If you are not in a hurry, you are recommended to leave from the exit toward the river bank. Next to the lively garden party, there will be a lot of hot food and souvenirs, not only for a short break, You can also spend a leisurely afternoon along the riverbank trail, but at this time the Yoshino cherry blossoms on the riverbank are already withered, and you cannot have the best of both worlds.

At that time, I accompanied my parents to catch up with the full blooming period of Yoshino Sakura in Shiga. I also saw the unique Omuro Sakura at Ninwa Temple. After adding various markets, cruises, night cherry blossoms and concerts, the final cherry blossom viewing itinerary was arranged. The cherry blossom spectacle of the Mint, even if you have seen the landscape full of cherry blossoms, come to the Mint, a place where hundreds of cherry blossoms compete together, you will still be amazed again and again, even if there is no temple like Kyoto with the natural beauty of the temple, but light It’s to appreciate all kinds of cherry blossoms, and it’s definitely overwhelming.
