    Gardens: Celebrating sakura in Maruyamakoen.

  • Kyoto.

  • Maruyama Park, at the eastern end of Shijo-dori, behind the Yasaka Shrine, becomes a busy and festive place in spring. The many cherry trees there are a riot of blossom and centre-stage stands a giant and ancient weeping cherry tree, raised on a small hillock and fenced-off to protect its roots. The pathways are lined with food stalls and hanami picnickers with their ubiquitous blue tarpolans spread on the ground revel. It's a great place to see Japanese customs associated with this beautiful and heady time of year happen in front of your eyes.
