This video takes viewers on a serene walk through the Nagai Botanical Garden (長居植物園) in Osaka, showcasing its renowned rose garden during peak bloom. The Nagai Botanical Garden, often referred to as a hidden gem for photography enthusiasts, offers a vibrant tapestry of roses from around the world—including varieties from the USA, Germany, UK, France, China, Scotland, and Japan. Each section—or ‘Uni’—displays different rose cultivars such as ‘Parade’, ‘About Face’, ‘Märchenzauber’, and many more, with close-up shots highlighting the unique colors, petals, and origins.

As the video progresses, viewers are introduced to specific roses grouped by location within the garden, each detailed with its country of origin. Roses like ‘Double Delight’, ‘Burgunder Eisberg’, and ‘Confiture’ from Japan are featured alongside European and American varieties. Japanese breeds such as ‘Ryokkō’, ‘La Broche’, and ‘Iori’ are noted for their particular beauty and delicacy, reflecting the garden’s commitment to showcasing international horticultural diversity.

In addition to Nagai Botanical Garden, the video briefly touches on the Nakanoshima Rose Garden (中之島公園バラ園) in Osaka’s Nakanoshima Park. However, heavy rain limited this segment, so only a few glimpses of this urban rose garden are captured. Despite these weather challenges, the film provides a valuable reference for travelers and garden lovers looking to explore Osaka’s floral scenery.

Located in Osaka, Nagai Botanical Garden is easily accessible via Nagai Station and is known for its broad collection of plant species and tranquil walking paths. The site is especially popular during rose season but offers picturesque views and photo opportunities year-round. Nakanoshima Rose Garden—a separate public park in central Osaka—typically features hundreds of rose bushes, making it another popular stop for flower photography and leisurely strolls.

These gardens give travelers a chance to experience a different side of Osaka, providing respite from the urban hustle, and connecting guests with both nature and international floral heritage.
