The mint of the venue is located near the moat of the moat surrounding Osaka Castle, and it is located close to the business center in the prefecture.


The surrounding maps are as follows. The nearest stations of the venue are the Tenmachi Bridge station on the subway Tanimachi Line · Keihin-hon Line (Keihan Higashiguchi · Exit 2), JR Tozai Line "Osaka Tenmangu Shrine" Station (JR 2 Exit), JR Tozai Line "Osaka Castle Kita" Station Exit) three places. The venue is about a 15-minute walk from either station.


Many cherry blossoms are blooming along the river near the Mint.


In the vicinity of the venue, partitions are made on the road with a pylon and a cone bar, a patrol car is stopped and a fresh atmosphere.


Even though we have about 20 minutes to open at 10 o'clock in the morning, cherry blossoms are gathering one after another.


The direction of the meeting place is obvious at a glance, as the large arrow written "Cherry blossom walkthrough" is affixed.


Some people have guide boards.


Just before the opening day of the first day, people waiting for the gate are making long lines. I asked about how many people are guarding the line, "I heard 1000 or 2000 people, I do not know but a lot of things!"


Looking at the state of people lined up in the queue in the movie looks like the following.

It is too crowded in front of the entrance gate.


Because the inside of the hall is a one-way street, the entrance is only here.

As I leave the entrance, I can manage to see the cherry blossoms at hand, even if I do not have much trouble because I can manage to get a gap in the crowd. The following pictures are "Chirika (Senriko)" varieties.

There is a relief office so it will not be okay if you feel sick.


There is "Middle Gate" at the approximate middle point.


In the vicinity of 'Middle Gate', the spacing between the trees is narrow, so it looks like 'Cherry Tunnel'.
