Moats and lawns. Cherry season (late March to early April) is its own crowd; on ordinary days one loop is enough.
Best time
Morning or dusk. Cherry and maple seasons are their own crowds.
How to go
Enter the moat from JR Morinomiya or Osaka-jo Koen. A Metro day pass does not cover this JR hop. ICOCA taps this JR hop. An Osaka Metro day pass does not cover JR.
Tips
- · Moats and lawns. Cherry season (late March to early April) is its own crowd; on ordinary days one loop is enough.
- · A loop is under about half an hour; cherry season adds crowds. On an ordinary day, do not buy a keep ticket just to say you did.
