The Okawa riverbank. Walk it in cherry season; on ordinary days it is a jog, not a mall.
Best time
Morning or dusk. Cherry and maple seasons are their own crowds.
How to go
Leave JR Sakuranomiya down to the Okawa. This is the Loop — a Metro day pass does not cover it. ICOCA taps this JR hop. An Osaka Metro day pass does not cover JR.
Tips
- · The Okawa riverbank. Walk it in cherry season; on ordinary days it is a jog, not a mall.
