The Osaka Mint Bureau (‘¢•¼‹Ç, Zōheikyoku) is the head office of Japan Mint, a governmental agency responsible for the supply of coins and medals and the analysis, testing and certification of metals. But as much as for coins, the Osaka Mint Bureau is famous for the more than 300 cherry trees, which stand on its premises. Over 100 cherry varieties, mostly later blooming yae-zakura (double flowering) trees can be viewed during a one week period each April, when the premises are opened to the public. During the rest of the year, the Mint Museum is opened to the public Monday to Friday (except national holidays) from 9:30 to 16:30. Admission is free. The museum introduces the coin production process and history of the mint and exhibits various coins and medals from Japan and elsewhere. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
