Hirakata Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Illumination Hirakata Park

#thingstodo You want to go theme park but can’t effort USJ, I would recommend here! There’s not much rides there and most are very childish as the park its own is very old. You must try riding roller coaster, disco and Ferris wheel! I won’t recommend buying a free pass! Just buy the entrance ticket advance on their website!It’s much cheaper than buying at the entranceThere is also a small zoo, one free and one charged! There’s also a rose garden, recommend to go there at the rose garden season! There are food stall but pricey for me! It’s better to bring your own one, if you’re strict to budget and a big eater

Hirakata Park

#thingstodo This is a perfect place to visit if you have children and for your-self. There are many activities and rides for you to do and enjoy. Although the fun park is old it is still enjoyable. They have some great places to sit and eat / drink or just rest and relax. They have great facilities around the park and are very clean. I went with a number of school children to use the snow park and although it was more like shaved ice the children had a great time building and sliding and just being silly. Inside also they have a very small zoo (if you can call it that). The staff are very curtious and extremely helpful. All information and maps are clear and easy to follow. Just be-aware that it is a destination for schools as a school trip so it can get very crowded with children. the car park is at the highest point of the park so when you are leaving it is a bit of a hike up. Still a great day out

Hirakata Park starts on November 15th, 2018, and until February 24th, 2019, it will open a fantasy light show featuring time travel "Time travel fantasy". There are three dream lights that dance with the changes in music. Whether its the fantastic blue light trails on the hillside, the Christmas tree show of the grandfathers grandfather, or the romantic Golden Falls of the cafe, its full of dreams, full of Christmas, The festive atmosphere of the New Year holiday.

If Universal Studios Osaka is a paradise for fans all over the world, then Hirakata Park is a source of happiness for locals. This playground in the suburbs of Osaka has a history of more than 100 years. It became the second largest amusement park in Kansai due to the establishment of Universal Studios. Although often overlooked by foreign tourists, it is a happy secret of Japanese children. Into the park, the arcade-like arches come to the park, and the bustling playground is not lively. Under the cheerful background music, the screams of the roller coaster whistling, but the childrens hearty laughter, and the long lines of each ride before the ride, but almost all of them are in Japan. Schoolchildren. It can be seen that for the Keihan people, they carry too much of their childhood happiness and memories. One of my favorite things is the Ferris wheel in the playground. This rainbow-colored tall Ferris wheel sits on a hillside in the park, slowly turning, full of dreamy atmosphere. Into the small car, as the Ferris wheel slowly rises, the entire amusement park, and even the Osaka area, gradually came into view. The time on the Ferris wheel has always been so fast, and has returned to the ground without looking enough. At this point, as the sky slowly dims, the lights in the park are gradually opening. But the joyful atmosphere did not end because of the darkness.

Yodogawa River Park Akakawa District

#thingstodo When I visited, it was the afternoon of the park near the end of the year, but it was not very popular. If you look closely at your feet under the Osaka Higashi Line railway bridge, you'll see a small flower that looks like you might step on it. When you go up to the embankment, you will see someone taking pictures of trains running on the Osaka Higashi Line. I also took some photos and will upload them. This Akagawa area has a free parking lot, so it is very crowded on weekends with families and people enjoying sports. Although there is a fee, there is a tennis court, and on weekends and holidays, the court is rarely empty. There's also a barbecue area..it's convenient because it's next to the parking lot.

Walking out of the station, the large-scale shopping mall with a modern and full-fledged bay window design in front of you will come into view. The bright lights are very lively. The first floor of Hirakata T-SITE is a casual food area headed by Starbucks. Buy a cup of coffee, a dessert, talk to your girlfriends in the lounge area, and talk to your business partners. The squatter bookstore is not a bookstore in the traditional sense. It is a way of life for modern people, so that guests who come here can feel the warmth of home and will be the most comfortable and relaxed. Good times stay here.

As a young artist, it is naturally unqualified to go to Japan without "byby" the squatter bookstore. Although the target user is classified as a middle class, whether it is a teenager, middle-aged or old age, they like to sit in the squatter bookstore and watch a book and a cup of coffee. Hirakata's T-site is a super-large comprehensive bookstore based on the Sakae Bookstore. Out of the Hirakata Station, the building in the night is shining from the second floor bridge, like a beacon that summons the return of youth. Perhaps the location of this store is to serve the surrounding communities, so there are very few tourists, and the people who stay in the store are the locals who come back from work. Flip through the book, go shopping, sit down with a cup of coffee, and become a natural life track for those nearby. The biggest idea at the time was that if there was such a store around my home, how much improvement in my quality of life?
