It's a truly beautiful park, and although many roses in the rose garden have already withered, you can still enjoy their lovely fragrance. If I had visited a month earlier, I think the scenery would have been absolutely stunning.
This island in the middle of the busy city is a good place to relax. The rose garden, from early summer to autumn is colourful and scented. The old, brick-built city hall and ceramic museum are also worth a visit. If you like jogging or walking, you start at the park and, without having to deal with cars, go on foot all the way to the Yodo River and beyond (as far as Kyoto!).
It was such a lovely experience walking along the river in the park. The scenery was beautiful, especially with the sakura in full bloom. A peaceful and picturesque spot, perfect for a relaxing stroll.
Yesterday was wonderful day. The sun was bright and out. It was breezy and really good to be out. I went to Nakanoshima Rose Garden, the roses were beautiful. There was an event held yesterday, there were foods stalls, music, and some performances. It was nice to see a lot of people enjoying all and a little nature. It was by the river with lots of restaurants and cafe’s around. I enjoyed the a little picnic at Nakanoshima Lawn Square, read a book and just enjoyed the breeze and beautiful view. I think it’s perfect for family and friends.
A must visit rose park during May when the roses are in full bloom - you can smell roses all around the park, and there’s so many different beautiful variants. We visited both during the day and during the night, it’s equally enjoyable. Also, make sure you take a stroll along the river, there’s a lot of cafes and things to see.
