Another one of Osaka’s Quasi National Park is Nukata Park. Located on Mt. Ikoma on Osaka Side(Higashi– Osaka) this park is famous for its Ajisai(Hydrangea) garden which is about 1.2km in all. I finally went this summer, rain and all, to check out the garden. It did not disappoint. Local hikers, families with kids and their pets, trail runners and even the old folks were out on that day to enjoy the blooms. Even when the Ajisai is over this park is still a great place to do some hike or trail run with friends or family.
