Japan Mint, Currency production facility in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan

The Japan Mint is the government coin production facility on the Ōkawa riverbank in Tenma, Kita-ku, Osaka, with its head office, factory and the Mint Museum on site. Its main gate is flanked by two small white gatehouses: a rectangular one with a hipped grey tile roof on the left and an octagonal pavilion with a pointed finial on the right, joined by a black metal fence and opening onto a brick-paved courtyard. The grounds hold the former mint's Important Cultural Properties, including the old foundry entrance, the Senpu-kan guest house, the former main gate guardhouse and gas lamps.

The facility was established in 1871 under the Meiji government to introduce a unified coin system based on Western models. It replaced the many different local currencies of the Edo period with standardized yen coins made of copper, silver, and gold.

The name Zōheikyoku dates from 1877, when the Zōheiryō was renamed; the site opened in 1871 as the Zōheiryō. In 1883 director Endō Kinsuke opened the cherry avenue to the public, and the name "Sakura no Tōrinuke" took hold around 1907. Since 1975 one cultivar is named "this year's flower", and a commemorative medal is sold.

The Osaka head office is a 10-minute walk from Tenmabashi Station (Tanimachi, Keihan and Nakanoshima lines), Minamimorimachi Station or Osaka Tenmangu Station. The grounds hold the Mint Museum, and the former main gate guardhouse, gas lamps and boundary stones are designated historic sites. The cherry tunnel opens for about seven days in mid-April, when the late-blooming yaezakura flower; since 2022 entry has been limited to free online reservations.

Besides circulation coins, the facility also produces official orders and commemorative medals for the Japanese government. The technique combines hand engraving traditions with computer-controlled stamping tools for fine details.
