Kema Sakuranomiya Park
Sakura Week!

Nearly 5000 cherry trees line Okawa River for several kilometers. The seemingly endless rows of cherry trees can be viewed from a pleasant riverside promenade or from ships cruising the river. There are also lawn areas with a lot of space for picnics.

A nice long stretch of park that runs on both river side. Kema Sakuranomiya connects down towards the mint museum where every year it has its uni-directional viewing of a large variety of Sakura trees.

Though Kema Sakuranomiya park is limited by its varieties, the sheer number of trees which lines the river side is really serene. The place invites one for picnic opportunities and offers an enjoyable and leisurely stroll as opposed to Japan Mint's Sakura viewing (reviewed below)
Other Recommended Sakura Locations you might want to consider on another trip.

Fukuoka - Nishi Park (A nice condensed park with varying feels and photo opportunities. Though not as impressive as others but worth the variety.)
Kyoto - Japan famous Philosopher's walk in Kyoto and ending with Maruyama Park for a meal and soaking in the atmosphere.
Nara - Nara Park during Sakura Season.

Mint Museum 1-chōme-1-79 Tenma, Kita-ku, Osaka, 530-0043

Though one gets the huge variety of Sakura Trees here, the place however is sooooo crowded that it takes away a bit of the tranquility. Interesting variety for sakura lovers and a great place to get some street food along the river bank after walking the stretch.
Note no food drinks or selfie sticks within the premises.
