The torii gates at Ukiha Inari Shrine are gorgeous and super photogenic! There aren't many people, so it's really peaceful and healing. Honestly, it's just as good as Kyoto, plus you get amazing views of the countryside. Highly recommend!

Cherry blossom walkthrough (Osaka)
For seven days around mid-April each year, a portion of the grounds of the Independent Administrative Institution Mint is open to the public, coinciding with the blooming of the double-flowered cherry trees.
The Mint has always been one of the most popular cherry blossom spots in Osaka. Since it's only open for a limited time each year, huge crowds show up. There are so many people that you can barely stop to take a break—you just get carried along with the flow.
