In the Yodoyabashi, Kitahama, and Nakanoshima areas of Osaka, you can enjoy walking around the town, taking in the beautiful retro buildings and greenery, such as the Prefectural Nakanoshima Library and Central Public Hall. A leisurely stroll will take you 2-3 hours, but a quick tour will take you about an hour. It's hot in the summer, so it's recommended to visit during the cooler months.

Visited the #OsakaNakanoshimaArtMuseum where not many people were. The exterior is a large black cube located between the buildings on both sides. It is quite spectacular and conspicuous from a distance. It is an art museum that displays contemporary art in Osaka. The special exhibition during the visit was the #木下佳通代 ’s works exhibition (5/25-8/28), and I am more interested in the next theme, the #醍醐寺 ’s National Treasure Exhibition (6/15-8/25). In addition to the big black cube of the Nakanoshima Art Museum, there are two mascots: a space cat on display outdoors, and a giant moon rocket cat indoors. They are very eye-catching and match the black cube quite well. The museum has five floors above and one floor below, with stairwells and floors crisscrossing each other. The cold metallic tones of black, gray, and white, coupled with a large amount of white space, give people the illusion of being in an alien space in the universe. It's quite cool to come and take a look! The entrance ticket office is on the second floor, and the first floor is the restaurant and selection studio. In short, Nakanoshima is a place where young artists would come. There are many art galleries and museums on the narrow island, so it’s nice to take a walk there.

Nakanoshima Museum of Art opened in 2022 It does not have a permanent exhibition, but is a museum that focuses on special exhibitions. The architecture inside the museum was also magnificent and captivating. On this day, there was a special exhibition of Saeki Yuzo, a Japanese painter who was active in France. His works allowed us to trace the turbulent life of Saeki, who ended his life at just over 30 years old. Saeki Yuzo's famous drawing of a post office worker in his later years was a masterpiece. #museum

#Osaka Shopping Guide Nakanoshima is sandwiched between the Dojima River and the Tosabori River, which flow from east to west through the central part of Osaka City. It is the administrative, economic and cultural center of Osaka City. In addition to the city administration building, banks, and newspapers, there are also various cultural facilities such as parks, art galleries, and libraries. The riverside trail is very suitable for citywalk. Along the way, you can see the Asahi Shimbun and Osaka Conrad high-rise buildings towering into the sky. The Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library and Osaka City Central Public Hall are Western buildings built 100 years ago. The brick and stone structure exudes a romantic atmosphere of literary retro. As a major partner of the 2025 Osaka World Expo, Kansai Electric Power has set up a photo-taking check-in point for the mascot Maimai in the headquarters building, and then the destination of this trip: the black box-like Nakanoshima Art Museum. Nakanoshima Rose Garden｜Healing Flower Sea in the City Center As soon as I entered the garden, I was amazed by the whole rose! It was like being in a beautiful painting This is a very popular photo-taking spot, very suitable for the whole family to go together! The overall park design is very good. You can walk to the east end. It is very quiet. Some people are sunbathing, and some are reading and chatting on the lawn. The sky is clear and the weather is getting hot. It is still quite comfortable. The rose garden extends along the north waterfront to the ceramic museum. If you walk to the middle of Nakanoshima, there is also a section of roses on the south bank. In short, if you go to Osaka at this time, don’t just rush to the World Expo and shopping. Nakanoshima is worth spending time to enjoy the elegance of Osaka at the water.

While walking along the Kitahama River in Osaka, I passed by the popular coffee shop MOTO COFFEE and was attracted by the charming coffee aroma and the crowds. The outdoor seats on the first floor along the river were already full, and the whole row facing the scenery of Nakanoshima was super chill. Fortunately, there are seats on the second floor, and there are large windows. It is so relaxing to sit and watch the river and drink coffee~ I ordered lightly roasted coffee, which is strong but not bitter at all, with a fruity aftertaste, and it is super smooth. Although I didn’t order dessert this time, the ones on the counter looked super tempting. I will come back to eat them next time! ⸻ #Osaka Cafe #Kitahama Coffee #MOTOCOFFEE #Nakanoshima Attractions #Riverside Cafe #Lightly Roasted Coffee #Osaka Afternoon Tea #Coffee Aroma and Window View #Japanese Cafe #Osaka Free Travel Recommendation #May Good Place 2025

On this sunny morning, I decided to visit the Central Public Hall located in Nakanoshima, Osaka. This cultural landmark, with over a century of history, is renowned for its magnificent Neo-Renaissance style and always attracts countless visitors. I exited from Yodoyabashi Station on the Midosuji Line and walked towards the Central Public Hall along the bustling streets. The five-minute walk allowed me to feel the urban atmosphere of Osaka, with the surrounding skyscrapers and greenery creating a charming contrast, filling me with anticipation for the upcoming visit. As I approached the Central Public Hall, its majestic exterior stood out against the backdrop of blue water and green trees. Completed in 1918, this building has been preserved and restored over the years and has become the first public hall building in western Japan to be designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Entering the hall, I was amazed by the interior decorations and the sense of history. Inside the hall, I discovered that the exhibition room on the basement level is open to the public for free, showcasing the history and artifacts related to the hall. I leisurely admired various relics here, feeling the deep cultural heritage of the building. The hall is not only a venue for concerts and lectures but also carries many historical events, reminding me of great figures like Einstein and Helen Keller who once gave speeches here. After visiting the Central Public Hall, I strolled along the nearby Nakanoshima Park. This park is an oasis in Osaka, with spacious lawns and beautiful lakes, allowing one to feel the natural atmosphere within the city. Many people were jogging, walking, and families were playing on the grass, creating a lively scene. I found a comfortable bench to sit on, enjoying the breeze on my face, and the surrounding green trees and blooming flowers lifted my spirits. This is a great place to relax and temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the city. This day's visit to the Central Public Hall not only deepened my understanding of Osaka's history and culture but also allowed me to enjoy a moment of tranquility in Nakanoshima Park. The grandeur of the Central Public Hall and the natural beauty of Nakanoshima Park perfectly intertwined, becoming an unforgettable part of my journey in Osaka. I hope to return here in the future to explore more hidden beauties.

Osaka has long been a prosperous city, and the urban area still retains many Western-style historical buildings, reflecting the historical appearance of 'Great Osaka.' Many of these historical buildings are concentrated in the Kitahama to Nakanoshima area, making it an ideal place for a leisurely walk to appreciate the charm of history. Recommended walking route: Yodoyabashi Station ➡️ Shibakawa Building (lunch or afternoon tea at a cafe or bar) ➡️ Head towards the river ➡️ Walk through Yodoyabashi to Nakanoshima Park ➡️ Nakanoshima Library (afternoon tea at Smorrebrod Kitchen) ➡️ Osaka City Central Public Hall ➡️ Osaka Municipal Museum of Oriental Ceramics ➡️ Return to the Kitahama area (have a coffee by the riverside) ➡️ Buy cakes and souvenirs at Gokan Kitahama Main Store The walking time for this route (excluding sightseeing and dining time) is only about 30 minutes. The attractions are very close to each other and most are designated tangible cultural properties. Although they are all Western-style historical buildings, each has its own unique characteristics, such as the red-brick Osaka City Central Public Hall and the Inca-style Shibakawa Building. Spend an afternoon here to experience another side of Osaka!
