#osakaitinerary One of the riverside parks along the Yodo River. Located near the Yodogawa Ozeki (Yodo River Weir), the park would be a good vantage point to enjoy nice views of the building. You’ll see airplanes come and go right high above the place every 10 minutes or so. Although there is a designated area where you can use a fire, you can also barbecue. Fires are strictly prohibited outside the area. A friend recently told me about this place.☺️

Being surrounded by the tranquil and beautiful scenery of the Yodo River, it feels like you have entered a landscape painting full of natural feelings. Before your eyes is an endless expanse of emerald green rice fields, undulating like waves in the wind, dotted occasionally with a few trees with vines, adding a touch of simple and elegant poetic atmosphere to the rural scenery. A gentle breeze blew, and the sound of wind and waves could be heard across the fields. The swaying rice ears sparkled under the rippling waves. Not far away there is a gurgling stream, the sound of the water is clear and pleasant, as if composing a melodious pastoral symphony for this tranquil nature. Several wooden houses are scattered along the stream, with a few touches of light red tiles dotted in the lush greenery, forming a pleasing paradise scene. We strolled slowly in this peaceful and simple rural scenery, feeling the endless natural rhythm and charm of nature. The plain and simple nature deep in my heart is infinitely magnified, and I find the most primitive and simple form of life, and gain a new understanding of the yearning for life. Surrounded by the lush embrace of nature, we seem to become one with the natural sentiment, appreciating the overflowing meaning of life and inner poetry. #Osaka Attractions
