Cherry blossom hotspot in Kyoto

Park

Message from Hat Explores

Maruyama Park in Kyoto is the go-to spot for cherry blossom viewing parties (hanami) in early April. Located next to Yasaka Shrine, this public park gets packed with locals and tourists alike, all eager to picnic under the blooming cherry trees. The highlight of the park is a stunning weeping cherry tree that lights up at night, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for enjoying the beauty of spring. Just a short bus ride from Kyoto Station, Maruyama Park is a must-visit during cherry blossom season for a quintessential Japanese experience.

TIP - This is typically covered in the free walking tour (such as the one linked below)
