  Very nice park in the city. You totally forget that you in the middle of Osaka. There are multiple teahouses in different styles. This park is probably best in spring when the different trees bloom. The entrance fee (¥ 500) is used to maintain the garden and you are provided with a guide explaining the history of the different buildings.

  Quite small garden, yet has some nice spots. In some areas felt, like it would need a little bit more care, but on the other hand, you can feel as if you would be somethere in the nature. If you are money sensitive, than there are more interesting places to spend your 500¥
