🐦 Through Floral Conservatories, International Gardens, and Scenic Ponds 🐦
Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park in Tsurumi Ward, Osaka City, is an expansive 126-hectare urban oasis established on the grounds of the 1990 International Garden and Greenery Exposition (EXPO ’90). Famed for its preserved international garden pavilions and one of Japan’s largest botanical conservatories, the park harmonizes colorful seasonal blossoms, tranquil ponds, and lush greenery into a beloved recreational retreat.
This compact 3km GPS art course invites you to experience a storied parkland, weaving along peaceful walking paths within the park grounds to sketch a Ptarmigan on your digital map.
The journey offers a delightful stroll, starting near the vibrant Central Fountain, the versatile Hanamizuki Hall (water’s mansion Hall), and the landmark Life Tower. Exploring the park’s iconic attractions, you will discover the impressive botanical diversity inside Sakuya Konohana Kan, one of the country’s grandest greenhouses, alongside the tranquil waters of Oike Pond and the playful play structures at Mega Dinosaur Park. The route then meanders through the International Garden, where charming architectural replicas and garden styles from around the world evoke the spirit of the historic exposition.
Featuring flat, scenic parkways surrounded by floral beauty and exposition heritage, this 3km route provides an accessible and relaxing walk. As the digital silhouette completes on your map, you are left with a memorable impression of Osaka’s greenest retreat.
