A tranquil island sandwiched between two rivers in central Osaka, Nakanoshima Park is a beloved green escape lined with rose gardens and neoclassical architecture. The Museum of Oriental Ceramics sitting within it holds one of the world's finest collections of Chinese and Korean ceramics, including pieces lit from within to reveal translucent glazes. The park itself is free; the museum charges a modest entry fee and is often uncrowded, making it a genuine local retreat.
