Maruyama Park
About
Maruyama Park is Kyoto's oldest public park, celebrated as the city's premier cherry blossom viewing spot. At its heart stands a majestic, illuminated weeping cherry tree, surrounded by quiet walking paths, scenic ponds, and traditional teahouses. During spring, it transforms into a lively festival hub, while offering a peaceful, green escape next to Yasaka Shrine during the rest of the year.
Insider Tip
Visit during cherry blossom season at night to see the giant weeping cherry beautifully illuminated and enjoy lively food stalls.
