Maruyama Park and the Weeping Cherry of Gion

The Gion weeping cherry stands out even among the other magnificent trees in Maruyama Park.

Against a clear blue sky, the blossom-laden branches of the elegant Gion weeping cherry wave in the breeze.

Maruyama Park is a favorite place for blossom-viewing parties.

Blossom-viewing tearooms give visitors a relaxing place to savor the blossoms after dark.
