The name Haruki literally means "spring tree", being on the Nankai or south sea railway from Osaka to Wakayama and Kansai International Airport. Facing the warm Pacific current, it may be one of the first places in Osaka to see cherry blossoms. There are express trains that take you from Haruki station to either Osaka Namba or the Airport, being 20 minutes in either direction. Kispa La Park nearby is an entertainment and shopping complex – being a great place to buy some bento and sake before your hanami picnic, or for some duty free cosmetics or accessories before heading to Kansai International Airport. Kispa La Park also has a bowling alley, children’s play center and some of the cheapest karaoke and lunch options in Japan.

As expected that Hanami can be seen everywhere not only in the park
The contrast between the cherry blossoms and the train station makes for a great photo. Haruki is close to Kansai airport too, making it easy to access.
