Nishinomaru Garden

This park lies outside Osaka Castle's Otemon Gate, and is a popular place for cherry blossom viewing. 300 cherry trees (mainly Yoshino cherry trees) are planted, and every spring tourists gather here to see the cherry blossoms. Even outside of the cherry blossom season, the view of the castle tower and stone walls through the trees is impressive, and many people visit to take photos of it. Also contained within the park are many scenic spots, including 13 Important Cultural Properties, such as the Senganyagura and the Enshogura. The park is said to the place where the residence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's legal wife, Kitano Mandokoro, once stood.
