A must visit rose park during May when the roses are in full bloom - you can smell roses all around the park, and there’s so many different beautiful variants. We visited both during the day and during the night, it’s equally enjoyable. Also, make sure you take a stroll along the river, there’s a lot of cafes and things to see.

It was such a lovely experience walking along the river in the park. The scenery was beautiful, especially with the sakura in full bloom. A peaceful and picturesque spot, perfect for a relaxing stroll.

This island in the middle of the busy city is a good place to relax. The rose garden, from early summer to autumn is colourful and scented. The old, brick-built city hall and ceramic museum are also worth a visit. If you like jogging or walking, you start at the park and, without having to deal with cars, go on foot all the way to the Yodo River and beyond (as far as Kyoto!).

Typical Budget for a Family of 3 (2 Adults + 1 Baby)

Museum admission (2 adults)JPY 860
Café drinks and snackJPY 800
