城北公園, Public park in Osaka, Japan
Johoku Park is a 9.5-hectare (23.4-acre) green space with a central pond, cultivated garden areas, and recreational zones for the community. The layout includes walking paths, benches, and play equipment distributed throughout the grounds.
The park emerged from former Yodo River grounds following river realignment works during the Meiji period and opened to the public in 1934. Its creation reflected urban development efforts that reshaped land use in this part of Osaka.
The iris garden draws many visitors who come to admire the traditional Japanese varieties during their blooming season. The park serves as a gathering place where people experience the changing beauty of nature throughout the year.
The park is accessible by public transportation with multiple entry points in the Asahi Ward area. Walking through the grounds is easiest in dry weather, and the paths accommodate visitors of different mobility levels.
The park holds both cherry blossom and plum groves that bloom at different times of year, each providing distinct visual character to the landscape. Visitors encounter different colors and textures depending on the season of their visit.
