Mount Atago

Mount Atago, overlooking Osaka Bay, is a famous spot for azaleas. The view of the sea beyond the flowers is popular.

Mount Atago is a 10-minute walk from Tannowa Station on the Nankai Main Line. Offering sweeping views of Osaka Bay, Kansai International Airport, and even the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the distance, the hills of Mount Atago are known as a famous spot for spring flowers. In early April, 800 cherry blossoms bloom, and from late April to May, an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 azaleas cover the entire mountainside in a beautiful display. Looking down on a clear day, the combination of the red flowers, the blue sea, the white clouds, and the fresh greenery of the new leaves is a beautiful sight, making this a popular spot for many visitors. Nearby are the Osaka Prefectural Youth Marine Center, where you can try marine sports, a yacht harbor, and the Marine Lodge Kaifukan, where you can dine, bathe, and stay overnight, as well as Tannowa Beach.
