Hattori Ryokuchi Park is a large, hilly park in the northern part of Osaka. The park is most for its Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses (admission fee required), which contains examples of rural architecture from various parts of Japan. However, there are plenty other things to do in the park. It has horseback-riding facilities, tennis courts, bamboo gardens, ponds, playgrounds, flower gardens, a concert hall, a “flower road”, and a “water world.” During the summer, there’s even an outdoor Kabuki theater.
