Revealing in Nature's Serenity in the Heart of Kyoto

Maruyama park is the ideal spot to relax and unwind after a busy day. This tranquil garden has cherry trees, as well in other natural beauty spots. It is the perfect location to reconnect with nature and renew your soul. The delicate cherry blossoms of spring and the beautiful red maple leaves in fall create a beautiful spot to walk around and enjoy the beauty of nature. 1. Weeping Cherry Trees Maruyama Park is one of Kyoto's most famous cherry blossom spots and must-sees for anyone visiting Kyoto. It is located in the shadow of Yasaka Shrine, in Higashiyama. The park covers 86,000 square metres, and is home to gardens, picnic areas as well as restaurants. Weeping cherry trees are a part of an enclosed rise in front of the shrine, attracting crowds of visitors who come to view the blooms both day and at night. The Gion shidare zakura, or weeping cherry tree, is especially charming, with its graceful branches filled with delicate pink blooms. The park also has various other cherry species, including Someiyoshino (a hybrid between Oshima and Edohigan cherry) and yamazakura "doubled cherry trees" which bloom one week longer than Gion's. In the night, a few of these sakura with drooping branches are lit and surrounded by small food and souvenir stalls, serving beer, grilled seafood or takoyaki (octopus balls). 2. Japanese Gardens If you're in Kyoto to view the cherry blossoms or you just desire to take in nature's serenity, Maruyama Park is the place to go. The beautiful garden - which is the oldest one in the city - provides an oasis of peace away from the masses of tourists who visit the many sites. The area is popular with locals to go for hanami, or flowers viewing. The weeping cherry tree in the center of the park is lit up which makes it a breathtaking sight to see. The stunning garden is a perfect example of the precision and beauty that is the hallmark of Japanese gardens. The tea houses, twisted old trees and ponds filled with rare fish species are carefully planted to ensure peace.

3. Food Stalls A stroll through Maruyama Park is a great opportunity to relax in the natural peace. This park draws all kinds of people, from parents with small children and artists who paint or draw the forest scenery. Hanami which is the spectacle of spring flowers, is also very popular in this area. Japanese enjoy picnics in the park, under cherry trees. There are food stands that sell grilled fish and meats, and also sticky rice balls and beer. A huge weeping tree is located in the park, and is illuminated in the evening when it's flowering. It's a gorgeous sight both in the daytime and at night. It should be seen by anyone who loves cherry blossoms! 4. The sculptural Maruyama Park is one of Kyoto's most well-known spots. It has lots to provide. The park is vast and filled with the cherry blossoms, a lake and trails for walking. The park's public design was created in 1886, and is located close to Yasaka Shrine in the Higashiyama district in east Kyoto. This is a great spot to see some of the best cherry blossoms in Kyoto. The park also features statues of Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro two samurai fighters who were killed in the Bakumatsu period. The bronze statues can be located in the vicinity of the Maruyama Park entrance. 5. History Kyoto is famous for its blossoms of cherry and there's no better spot to enjoy them than in Maruyama Park. The garden is open to the public and has more than 680 cherry tree varieties. It's essential for those visiting Kyoto. Jihei Ogawa was a landscape architect who constructed this park on land which was once home to a number of temples. However, they were destroyed by fire. The park was designed by Jihei Ogawa around a central lake, and also built tea houses to take a break. It is also a memorial to two national heroes who died fighting the Tokugawa shogunate: Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro. The two samurai fighters are believed to have been executed by Kyoto police in 1867, and there's a statue of them near the park. Credits to YouTube

Designed jointly by Maekawa Kunio, Sakakura Junzo and Yoshimura Junzo and completed in 1955. This is the former residence of Kyogoku Iki no Kami, lord of the Tadotsu domain in the Edo period. The garden was created by Jihei Ogawa (Ueji) during the reign of the residence of Koyata Iwasaki (completed in 1929), the fourth general of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu. A report on the restoration of the building by the Architectural Institute of Japan led to the decision to conserve and restore the building, and Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei was in charge of the conservation and restoration design. The project included the restoration of wooden fittings with aluminium frames and double-glazing, and the revival of the former light garden function by introducing natural light from the staircase to the basement. While inheriting the building’s value as a cultural asset, the design for succession has been achieved by updating it with the functions required for a modern building, such as accommodation and hall facilities. 国際文化会館 住所：東京都港区六本木5-11-16 設計：前川國男、坂倉準三、吉村順三 完成：1955年（昭和30年） 受賞：2007年日本建築学会賞、日本建築学会作品選集2008、第17回BELCA賞、日本建築家協会優秀建築選2007、2007年度グッドデザイン賞、国の登録有形文化財（建造物） International House of Japan Address: 5-11-16 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo Designed by : Maekawa Kunio, Sakakura Junzo, Yoshimura Junzo Completed : 1955 Awards : Architectural Institute of Japan Award 2007, Architectural Institute of Japan Selected Works 2008, 17th BELCA Award, Japan Institute of Architects Excellent Architecture Award 2007, Good Design Award 2007, Registered Tangible Cultural Property (Building) of Japan (国際文化会館) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmz73lavy-9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
