Hattori Ryokuchi Park (服部緑地公園 Hattori Ryokuchi Kōen) is a large, hilly park in northern Osaka. It is most famous for its Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses, which contains examples of rural architecture from various parts of Japan. It also contains tennis courts, bamboo gardens, ponds, playgrounds, flower gardens, a concert hall, a 'flower road,' a horseback riding track, and a 'water world."
Hattori (服部) is the name of this region of the city, while ryokuchi (緑地) is a generic word for a green space, used for several other urban parks around Honshu.
There was a YHA youth hostel in the park that closed at the end of August 2011.
[edit] Access
The Midosuji subway line has a station to the east of the park. Get off at the Ryokuchi-kōen Station and walk west for about 5 minutes.
