Tennoji Park is a good place to stroll for a couple of hours. It is an extensive botanical garden which features historical, cultural, and scientific experiences. The park includes a traditional Japanese garden called Keitakuen, the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art, Tennoji Zoo and the Chausuyama Burial Mound. The area is suitable for some family bonding time or if you’re simply looking for a place closer to nature within the city.
The park is a 15-minute walk away from Shitennoji Temple and is right across from Tennoji Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line.
