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.

Almost all the clerks in the store can speak Chinese, are easy to communicate with, and have a good attitude! I opened the door on time, got dressed quickly and accurately, and my wife’s hair didn’t fall out at all until the evening 👍 The clothes were tight along the way, highly recommended!

The sound and light effects are very good, and dry ice will be added at appropriate times to create a mysterious and quiet atmosphere. You can see different Heian Shrine.

During this trip, we were fortunate enough to meet our tour guide Charles, and his performance was really admirable! Charles is fluent in multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese, which made our travel experience smoother and more enjoyable. Whether communicating with foreign tourists or asking locals, Charles was always able to deal with it easily and made us feel that language is no longer a barrier. We were deeply moved by Charles' patience and attentiveness. He will take the initiative to care about the needs of each group member. Whether it is adjustments to the itinerary or questions about the local culture, he will patiently answer them and make us feel cared for like family. Whenever we asked a question or request, he always had a smile on his face and was always ready to help. This service attitude made the whole trip full of warmth. During the trip, Charles was more than just a tour guide, but more like a friend. He will share many interesting stories and local customs, allowing us to not just watch the tour but to truly immerse ourselves in the culture of this place. The introduction of each attraction was full of his enthusiasm, making us full of expectations for each place. In addition, Charles is also very thoughtful in arranging the itinerary, fully considering the age and needs of the group members, and adjusting the itinerary just right so that everyone can enjoy the fun of the trip. He was always looking out for our safety and making sure everyone was having a comfortable tour, which made us feel very reassured. Overall, this trip became more exciting because of Charles' company. We are very grateful for everything he did for us and made our trip full of wonderful memories. I wish Charles all the best in his future work and can continue to provide such high-quality services to more tourists! If we have the opportunity to travel again, we would definitely like to explore new places with Charles again. Thank you again, Charles!
