Kyoto Maruyama Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot with a history of over a century. Whenever the spring breeze blows, it becomes a sea of ​​cherry blossoms. There are about 650 cherry trees planted in the park, including double-cherry blossoms, Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, weeping cherry blossoms and other varieties. The most well-known among them is the magnificent Gion weeping cherry blossom.

This weeping cherry tree, known as the "Queen of Cherry Blossoms", is like a jewel in the crown, emitting charming brilliance every night when it is lit up. During the cherry blossom season, Maruyama Park is not only crowded with people during the day, but also very lively at night. Many citizens and tourists will have picnics here, enjoying the fun of eating under the flowers, while also admiring the night cherry blossoms in Gion.

Maruyama Park is not only a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms, but also has an extremely advantageous geographical location, close to famous attractions such as Yasaka Shrine, Kodaiji Temple, Gion Hanami-koji, and Kiyomizu Temple. Visitors can visit these historical places while enjoying the cherry blossoms.

If you visit Kyoto during the cherry blossom season, Maruyama Park is definitely a place you cannot miss. Whether it is the pink flowers during the day or the brilliant lights at night, it will add an unforgettable memory to your trip to Kyoto.
