Osaka Castle Park cherry blossoms in full bloom ...

About 3,000 cherry trees such as Yoshino cherry tree are in full bloom at Osaka Castle Park.

However, as the spread of the new coronavirus has spread, it has been called for to refrain from unnecessary and urgent outings, so there are few visitors and the area is quiet.

In the park, banquets with seats were also called for self-restraint, and visitors rarely stopped, watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom while walking quietly.
