I don't know why, this beautiful garden was not in my visit list in Osaka. In fact, it is the best Japanese Garden I've ever visited and it should be at top 10 most visited place in Japan. We went there when the autumn color at its peak. It so beautiful and gave us the real Japanese garden touch. This garden is actually inside of the huge Daisen garden where cherry trees will show its beautiful Sakura flower sometime in April. I can't imagine how beautiful it is, since so many cherry trees in the garden. Definitely it will be my target place for next Japan trip on cherrt blossom period !
