Maruyama Park is a beautiful public park in Kyoto, Japan. It's located at the eastern end of the Gion District and close to Yasaka Shrine. This park is the perfect spot for cherry blossom viewing during Sakura season. Locals and tourists love to come here to enjoy the cherry blossom trees and have picnics. This is why you'll also find street food vendors throughout the park, selling tasty snacks and seasonal treats. But that's not all! In the middle of the park, you can find the famous Gion Weeping Cherry Tree, also known as Shidarezakura. At night, the tree is lit up, creating a magical atmosphere for an evening walk. Whether you visit during the bustling cherry blossom season or any other time of year, Maruyama Park offers a relaxing retreat from the busy Kyoto's tourist districts. So why wait? Don’t miss the chance to experience one of Japan's most iconic parks and its enchanting cherry trees.

There are many clothes to choose from, including warm gloves and scarves. You can also ask the store clerk to help you find the style you like. The hairstyle is also very delicate. There are ladies who can speak Chinese in the store, which is very convenient for Chinese people. (๑ `▽´๑)۶棒👍🏻

It was a fulfilling day. We visited all the attractions we wanted to visit, but we had to walk faster, otherwise we might be late! Miss Hannia was very serious and responsible. She explained to us the fun and delicious things at each attraction on the bus, and also shared snacks with us! Highly recommended!

The bus tour with Haehwa Guide was a good choice. It seemed like three places a day would be appropriate given the time. It was also nice that he explained the historical aspects.
