Amibiki Park
I think the cherry blossoms blooming along Nakatsuhama Line are beautiful. In a normal year, when cherry blossom season comes around, they used to light them up with bonbori lanterns, but they haven’t been doing it because of COVID.

Personally, I like the area downstream from Hankyu Shukugawa because there are still fewer people, so it’s nice for walking around and looking at the blossoms.
