Yodogawa Riverside Park, Nishinakajima 淀川河川公園 西中島地区
Broad riverbed lawns and sports fields on the north bank of the Yodo River, a short walk from Shin-Osaka and with wide views back to the Umeda skyline.
About
The Yodogawa Riverside Park runs for miles along the Yodo River, and the Nishinakajima section is the part closest to Shin-Osaka. It is a flat expanse of riverside grass, ball fields and cycling paths, with an open sky that is rare in central Osaka. Walk up to the levee for a view of the Umeda towers across the water, especially pretty at sunset. It is a good place to stretch your legs before or after a shinkansen ride.
Highlights
- Huge riverside lawns and sports fields
- Levee views of the Umeda skyline
- Cycling and jogging paths along the river
- Close to Shin-Osaka Station
Tips
- There is little shade: bring a hat in summer.
- Sunset from the levee is the best time for skyline photos.
