Maruyama Park

Rate this destination:

Maruyama Park is one of the largest public parks in downtown Kyoto, a haven in the South Higashiyama District. The park is known for its centerpiece, a tall shidarezakura (weeping cherry tree), which is illuminated every night for better yazakura (night hanami) experience. Make sure you catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom on late March to April.
