Daisen Park, Urban park in Sakai-ku, Japan

Daisen Park is a 35-hectare urban park in Sakai-ku with open green spaces, a large lawn plaza, and Dora Pond. It also features a traditional Japanese garden spanning about 26,000 square meters and a dedicated children's forest area.

The park was developed near the burial mound of Emperor Nintoku and contains Dora Pond, which originated as a reservoir during the Edo Period. This water body was used for agricultural purposes over centuries before the park was established.

The park contains a traditional Japanese garden where visitors can observe classic design principles and seasonal plantings. The Sakai City Museum displays objects and narratives related to the area's local heritage.

The park is open year-round and offers convenient parking for those arriving by car. The different areas are easily accessible on foot and well-marked for navigation.

The park has about 400 cherry trees of different varieties, including Someiyoshino and Oshimazakura, that bloom in sync each spring. This seasonal display attracts many visitors who come to witness the brief beauty of the flowers.
