Utsubo Park is located in Osaka City,
right off of the Chuo Line of the subway, and almost quite literally
in the center of the city, south of Umeda, west of Osaka
Castle, north of Nanba but still East of Shinsaibashi.
Access:
Utsubo Park is easily accessible from
the Midosuji, Yotsubashi and Chuo Lines of the subway. All of these
lines will take you to Honmachi Station. Exit from exit number 28
(near the Yotsubashi Line). After leaving exit 28, you'll see a
Family Mart to the left. Walk past the Family Mart, to the next
light, then make a left. You'll walk for about 5 minutes before you
see a playground to your right, and that's Utsubo Park! Other nearby
stations include Awaza Staion and Higobashi Station (the furthest of
the three).

| The space directly in front is the picnic area surrounded by sakura. |
The sakura in Osaka City tend to fade faster than sakura out in Nara or Kyoto, so it's best to get out and see them as early as possible (many of the blossoms have faded by early April)!
