This year, the World Expo will return to Osaka for the first time in 55 years. While the city is full of energy, the area around Utsubo Park – home to NEPENTHES OSAKA, celebrating its 15th anniversary, and NEPENTHES WOMAN OSAKA, marking its 5th anniversary – is a tranquil location to connect with nature and relax. For this issue, we put together a collection of NEPENTHES’ favorite spots in and around the neighborhood.
