Utsubo Park



In addition to a rose garden and rows of zelkova trees, there is also a tennis center that has been used as a venue for international tournaments. Kyomachibori, located on the north side of the park, is home to many stylish cafes and general stores.
This park stretches across Osaka's business district, Hommachi. Its elongated shape stretches approximately 800 meters east to west and 150 meters north to south, covering a total area of approximately 9.7 hectares. Its central shape is roughly 800 meters from east to west, and 150 meters north to south. It's divided into the East Garden and the West Garden by the Naniwa-suji avenue, which runs north to south through the center. The East Garden features the city's oldest rose garden, the Utsubo Tennis Court with 10 tennis courts, and a row of zelkova trees that changes color with the seasons. The West Garden is home to the Utsubo Tennis Center, with 16 tennis courts and used for international tournaments. During Hideyoshi's reign, the surrounding area thrived as the Zakoba Fish Market and a wholesale district for salted and dried fish. Upon hearing fish merchants selling fish with spirited chants of "cheap, cheap," Hideyoshi remarked, "Yasu (arrow nest) means yasu (a tool used to hold arrows)," and the neighborhood was named after this phrase. Kyomachibori, located on the north side of the park, is home to many stylish cafes and general stores.
