Cherry blossom viewing in Maruyama Park, the oldest park in Kyoto, and Gion weeping cherry blossoms

#Kyoto Sakura

Maruyama Park is the oldest park in Kyoto. It was built on land that once belonged to temples and shrines. It is adjacent to Yasaka Shrine. The strolling garden is lined with restaurants and teahouses. It is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto, the most representative of which is the "Gion weeping cherry blossoms."

The Gion weeping cherry trees standing by the pond are one of Kyoto's premier photo spots, and the night cherry blossoms at Maruyama Park are world-famous. The beauty of the cherry blossoms after being lit up at night attracts a large number of tourists.

Whether it is the cherry blossom season in spring or the red leaves season in autumn, Maruyama Park is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
