Late Sakura Experience in Osaka — Discover a Hidden Spring Moment —
If you think cherry blossom season in Osaka is already over, think again.
At Osaka Mint Bureau, a special and limited-time event called the “Cherry Blossom Passage” (Sakura no Toorinuke) takes place every year in early to mid-April — just when most sakura have already fallen.
Here, you can experience a different kind of beauty.
Unlike the common Somei Yoshino, the Mint Bureau is home to over 140 varieties of late-blooming cherry blossoms. You’ll find stunning double-layered sakura in soft pink, as well as rare and unique colors like green and pale yellow blossoms — creating a truly magical and photogenic atmosphere.
Why this is special
• A “second chance” to enjoy cherry blossoms in Japan
• Rare sakura varieties you won’t easily see elsewhere
• A peaceful, less crowded hanami experience compared to peak season
And don’t miss the night illumination
As the sun sets, the pathway transforms into a dreamlike scene with beautifully lit cherry blossoms glowing against the night sky. The soft lights enhance the layers of petals, creating an elegant and romantic atmosphere — perfect for unforgettable photos.
Experience it in kimono
Walking through this iconic sakura tunnel in kimono makes the moment even more special. It’s the perfect way to capture a unique and authentic Japanese spring memory.
Limited time only
This event is held for just about one week each year — don’t miss your chance to experience Osaka’s “Late Sakura”.
—Make your spring in Osaka truly unforgettable with KAWAII OSAKA.—
