[2024 Osaka ] Travel Guide for Mint Museum (Updated Nov)

It seems that the entire population of Japan felt the same and needed to see these blossoms on the same Friday as we did. While the trees were lovely and beautiful (although there were lots of petals on the ground already) the uninterrupted blaring announcements in at least 3 languages about the rules of the garden, the presence of guards with bull horns, and the general overcrowding and herding of people made the total experience unpleasant. #GiveThanks

Osaka Mint, the cherry blossom garden party in spring day is the last day of our day in Osaka, and it is the first day of the Mint that is open to the public to see the cherry blossoms. You said that it is a coincidence? The cherry blossom road that has kept everyone waiting for a year should be the most popular place in Osaka that day. The Mint "opens only 7 days a year, misses the next time you want to catch up early", so that people who love to see cherry blossoms can't fight. According to statistics, on the week of opening each year, the Mint will invade an average of 800,000 visitors. The Dayu Mint Bureau's cherry blossom viewing route is very simple. It is a avenue from the south gate to the north gate. It is unidirectional, with a total length of 560 meters. The entrance is completely free. There are 800 varieties of cherry blossoms in the world, and there are more than 300 varieties in Japan, and the Osaka Mint Bureau accounts for nearly one-half of Japan. At the Mint, there are about 130 kinds of more than 300 precious cherry blossoms, mostly eight cherry blossoms that are open late, so it is only a feast of flowers when the cherry blossoms are scattered elsewhere. Even if there is no temple landscaping like Kyoto and natural beauty, when we come to the Mint, a place where hundreds of cherry blossoms compete together, it will still be awe-inspiring. A lot of rare cherry blossoms can be found here, which is not enough for other cherry blossom viewing spots. Each cherry tree has its own name, such as Zhong Rong, Yang Guifei, Song Yue, Au Duo, etc., people admire the hidden cultural temperament behind the cherry blossoms, and at the same time you can also taste from the name Imagine that every cherry blossom is like the beauty of a person, the beauty of a landscape. The beauty of the cherry blossoms is that Zhong Rongs righteousness and black and white are distinct; some are Yang Guiyans imperial palace and gracefulness; some are elephants that the Samantabhadra rides; some are a spring stream that lingers in the mountains. It is naturally crowded with people, so seeing flowers here also looks at people. Countless cameras and mobile phones gathered together to record the cherry blossom feast that has been waiting for one year. It also includes the citys expectation of the most colorful cherry blossoms. [The Mint Sakura Tips] The opening hours are not the same every year. At the end of March, you can pay attention to the announcement issued by the official website.

Mint Museum Sakura Rage

#cherryblossom2024 Expressive architecture, surrounded by flowers About 350 Japanese cherry trees grow on the beautiful territory of the Mint Museum, the flowering of which attracts crowds of visitors. Locals and tourists come here to admire the amazing architecture combined with a fragrant cloud of flowers. How to get there The Mint Museum is located in the center of Osaka, a short walk from the train station. At Osaka Station, take the JR Osaka Loop train and get off at Sakuranomiya Station. Cross to the other side of the river and then follow it in a southerly direction. After about 500 meters, you will see a group of Western-style buildings located in the park. The Mint Museum is located in the southern part of the complex. Travel plan Sakura blossoms in Japan for only a week, so it's difficult to plan a trip in advance. If you still find yourself in Osaka at the height of flowering, we recommend that you definitely visit the Mint Museum and the surrounding Kama Sakuranomiya Park. The territory is open to visitors daily from 10:00 to 21:00 on cherry blossom days.

Sakura 🌸 Blooms up in Majestic ⭐️Museum 🇯🇵

#cherryblossom2024 ⭐️The Mint Museum Sakura walkway is fantastic during spring/full blooms because you can see hundreds of varieties of cherry blossoms. It's interesting to walk through and compare and appreciate the differences of each variety. Every year they have a "cherry blossom variety of the year" so keep you eye out for which is this year's blossom! 🌸 At the end of the walkway there is a place where you can see that year's cherry blossom on a mint piece, cool souvenir. ⭐️The walkway is one way only so be sure to enter the right place. There are plenty of people directing foot traffic so it should be easy to identify.🤩 ⭐️Also be aware that cherry blossoms are plants and do not bloom on command! Since there are many varieties, they will not all bloom at the same time. If you are lucky to be there during a majority if the trees' full bloom, take your time and enjoy! The daylight and night time experiences are also very different and beautiful in their own way.🥰 ⭐️On the walkway below and running parallel to the cherry blossom walkway are many food and game vendors. Lots of beer, street food, and sweets available! Perfect for a snack or meal + cherry blossom viewing.🌸

The Mint Museum

#thingstodo Very interesting insight into the history of Japanese money. I was fortunate to visit as part of a school trip so we had a guided explanation in Japanese and factory tour too (not sure this is available for all). Free to enter. There is an English section on their website. I imagine it is very beautiful by the river in spring. ImGreat Mint Museum with free entrance.
