Weekend Snapshot #4: Sakura Viewing in Osaka Mint

Osaka Mint is open for Sakura viewing for only a week each year. For this year, the place is open from April 16-22. So, it's not surprising that the place was crowded on the first day. I had some difficulties in taking Sakura photos.

Here are some close-up photos of Sakura:

How to get to Osaka Mint:
From Osaka/Umeda, the fastest way is to take the Tanimachi line in Higashi Umeda subway station. Then get off at the Tenmabashi station. Tenmabashi is only two stations away from Higashi Umeda. Once you get to Tenmabashi, just follow those big signs in English that has these words: "to Osaka Mint".
