Maruyama Park in Kyoto, a Japanese-style garden|||Take a walk in Maruyama Park on the Gion side, the environment is beautiful. This Japanese-style garden park, established in 1886, is one of the earliest parks in Kyoto and the most famous cherry blossom viewing area. The 'weeping cherry' trees, which are over 200 years old, are a precious variety among cherry blossoms. There is also a statue of Sakamoto Ryoma, a figure from the Meiji Restoration, and next to it is a statue of Nakaoka Shintaro, who was assassinated at the same time. In the summer, it is very pleasant to climb up the mountain path, passing by the stream.
