Webmaster visited the Japanese garden in Expo’70 Commemorative Park (Banpakukinen-koen nihon-teien) last week.
Access: Osaka (local train 0:20) Senri-chuo (monorail 0:06) Banpaku-kinen-koen (walk 0:05) @
Admission:￥250 for adult.
This is a stroll type garden for 1,300m long from East to West for 26ha. Although it was rainy day, Webmaster enjoyed strolling in the garden.
As it is a large garden, it has many aspects from place to place.
A landscape around Shinji-ike Pond
Some carp were swimming in the pond
A lotus pond. As it was a little early for flowering season, only a few were flowering.
An iris garden
A bamboo forest
Dry landscape garden
A stream and a waterfall
Visiting a garden in rainy day is not so bad idea. It’s quiet with a few people than usual, and you can have the beautiful landscape all to yourself.
End.
