1-Day Bus Tour: Cherry Blossom Cruise & Arima Onsen at Osaka Castle

Osaka Castle Park

Constructed in the 16th century by the renowned samurai leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Osaka Castle stands as a magnificent historical landmark. The expansive grounds of the castle are adorned with thousands of cherry blossoms, making it one of Japan's most iconic locations to enjoy the harmonious combination of rich history and breathtaking springtime beauty.

Aqua-Liner Cruise

Experience a sophisticated 55-minute cruise along the river aboard a stylish, glass-roofed water bus. From your comfortable seat, take in the beautiful cherry blossoms that line the riverbanks while avoiding the hustle and bustle of street crowds!

Historic Arima Onsen

Arima Onsen is a celebrated mountain retreat with a rich history spanning over 1,300 years, ranking it among Japan's oldest hot spring towns. You can indulge in a soothing soak or enjoy a complimentary footbath in the renowned iron-rich "Golden Spring" and the pristine "Silver Spring," while also wandering through the quaint, narrow wooden streets and sampling delightful local treats.

Shukugawa Park

This tranquil and picturesque park is frequently recognized as one of Japan's top 100 cherry blossom viewing locations. Approximately 1,300 cherry trees, predominantly Yoshino cherry blossoms (Somei-yoshino), line the clear waters of the river, along with other distinctive varieties such as Yamazakura, Oshima-zakura, and Kanzan. It is a charming spot for a leisurely walk beneath a stunning canopy of pink petals.
