The Experience
Welcome the season on a scenic day trip from Osaka to Awaji Island, known for its beautiful coastal scenery, fresh seafood, and colorful flower fields.
Your journey begins at Akashi Kaikyo National Government Park, a spacious seaside park where you can enjoy seasonal flowers blooming throughout the year. Depending on the season, you may see nemophila, ranunculus, lilies, hydrangeas, sunflowers, and many more. During summer vacation periods, the park may also host the popular Rainbow Umbrella event, where around 190 colorful umbrellas are suspended overhead, creating a vibrant and photogenic display.
Next, enjoy a delicious local specialty for lunch: Awaji Island’s famous Nama Shirasu Don. The whitebait used in this dish is freshly caught at nearby Iwaya Port and carefully selected by local fishermen. Savor this seasonal delicacy together with a mini udon set while overlooking the beautiful waters of Osaka Bay.
After lunch, visit Awaji Hanasajiki, a scenic flower plateau where seasonal blossoms spread across wide fields with Osaka Bay as the backdrop. The flower varieties change throughout the year, offering colorful landscapes such as rapeseed blossoms, poppies, snapdragons, sunflowers, and more.
Continue to the island’s picturesque west coast area, where you can stroll through Ladybird Road, a charming street reminiscent of a European town filled with cafes, patisseries, and small shops. Nearby, Awaji Chef’s Garden offers seaside terrace seating where you can relax and sample local gourmet foods.
Before returning to Osaka, stop at Awaji Highway Oasis, a popular shopping spot where you can find many Awaji Island specialties such as onion soup and onion dressing. From here, you can also enjoy impressive views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the world’s largest suspension bridges.
