Kyoto Gyoen

  Kyoto Gyoen, nestled near the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, is a sprawling garden that covers 1.3 square kilometers. Originally established as the site of a palace in the 8th century, it transformed into a public park in 1949, offering visitors a glimpse into Japan's historical landscape design. One of its standout features is the diverse collection of over 1,000 cherry blossom trees, which attract many during the cherry blossom viewing season in April. As you stroll along the well-maintained paths, you can enjoy various flora and historical structures, including traditional tea houses and ancient walls. This green oasis invites visitors to relax, explore, and appreciate the rich blend of culture and nature that defines Kyoto.
