A large park with gardens, ponds, museums, a zoo and even an ancient burial mound (kofun) near Tennoji Station.
The grass area of the park is a great spot for picnics with a stunning view of the neighboring high-rise buildings including Abeno Harukas – Japan’s tallest building at time of publication.
Entry to the park is free while the various museums and the zoo have an admission charge.
