Went there expecting perfection, found 5 foot high paspalum growing through the unkempt hedges. I was sorely disappointed.

The Botanical Garden of Osaka Public University is located on the alluvial fan-shaped slope of the Ikoma mountain range, and has four ridges and three valleys, so it is rich in roughness. Climbing up to the top of the ridge, we encountered a few snakes and lizards as it looked like a natural hiking trail. There are many mosquitoes flying around, so bug repellent is a must. If you just want to see the flowers and trees around the entrance, you may not need a map of the park, but if you are going to see the trees deep in the mountains, it is recommended to take a map of the park with the entrance, as you will not know where you are. I think it is a great place for people who like nature to see rare plants and insects in a hiking mood.
