Experience a photo shoot that captures the beauty of the seasons and the charm of a traditional Japanese tatami room—welcome to Daisen Park.

This urban park, located in Sakai City, sits next to Japan’s largest burial mound, the Mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku. Inside the park, you’ll find a traditional Japanese garden, and once you pass through the gates, breathtaking natural scenery opens up before you.

Cherry blossoms, pine trees, fresh greenery, hydrangeas, maple leaves, plum blossoms—the garden transforms its appearance with each season. Selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Historical Parks, Daisen Park is Osaka’s most popular photo location, and its appeal is truly boundless.

Let’s take a closer look at the many photo opportunities at Daisen Park.

Within the Japanese garden is a spacious tatami room where you can enjoy calm, elegant photography.

The traditional seiza (formal sitting) pose is one of the most popular shots. Sliding open the shoji screens to let in natural light makes the atmosphere even more serene.

Inside the tatami room, there is an adorable round window.

Capturing the couple through it creates a playful, unique shot that is distinctively Daisen Park.

Behind the tatami room lies a corridor with a view of the adjacent pond.

Shooting here allows for a more natural, candid feel while surrounded by peaceful nature. It’s a refreshing experience for both body and mind.

The autumn colors at Daisen Park are a highlight, attracting countless visitors each year. In the evenings, the foliage is beautifully illuminated.

Photos with fiery red maple leaves create dramatic memories, while the fresh green maples before turning red offer a crisp and refreshing look.

The park’s well-maintained paths make walking in kimono comfortable.

Photographing the couple crossing the bridge from afar gives the impression of stepping into a painting.

With the bridge’s charm, the expansive garden scenery, and traditional touches like a Japanese umbrella, the scene becomes picture-perfect.

Even from low angles, the composition turns out stylish and artistic.

The bridge, the lush garden backdrop, and the open blue sky combine for a striking image that perfectly complements traditional kimono.

Every corner of Daisen Park offers a frame-worthy view, enhancing the beauty of your attire.
