Why this route restores

Utsubo sits in the middle of downtown Osaka but holds two rose gardens and a horse-chestnut allée. Fully paved, fully level, and always calmer than its neighbours.

Presence notes

Enter from the east gate, walk the central allée through both rose gardens, and finish at the west tennis-court lawn. Level throughout.
