Nagai Botanical Garden (長居植物園)

The sprawling 24.2 hectare (60 acre) gardens feature countless seasonal flowers including roses, cosmos, peonies, and hydrangeas. The flowering trees like jacaranda, crape myrtle, flowering cherry, and Japanese plum add a layer of color above eye-level. Stroll around the central pond and admire the lotuses in summer. Seasonal events are held throughout the year and the Osaka Natural History Museum and the Flower, Greenery, & Nature Center are located next to the gardens.
