Yodo River Run

I had a beautiful run along Yodo River (Yodogawa) yesterday morning in Osaka.  

Started from Umeda Station, I ran up north until I hit Yodogawa, then I followed it to the east and came down along the branch river that goes down south and bend around to the west as seen on the map below.

Yodogawa Riverside Park - the riverbank was very spacious.

Beautiful cherry blossoms by Kema Lock Gate.

A crew team was practicing.

Sakuranomiya Bridge.

A cable stayed bridge used only as a walk and bike way over the bridge.

Flower petals were really falling.

A colorful Yatai Stall.

I really enjoyed the fantastic run, but I am sure, due to the stormy weather of today, most flowers I saw yesterday are now gone.
