Maruyama Park
#thingstodo
We spent the morning walking around the temples south of the park, and it was good to find a green place that had lots of places to sit and some nice views. I never expected to give an urban park like this 5 stars, but as my wife was taking a break, I started exploring and found it had a lot of enchanting places.
In particular, there's a stream (probably man-made) flowing through the middle, and you can cross it with bridges, across stones, and even on some of the stones if you have waterproof hiking shoes like I did. It's very popular with couples and I saw couples taking wedding shots, one proposal on bended knee, and lots of people in kimonos just enjoying themselves.
The middle part is more crowded but as you head East and uphill a bit, it's more quiet and there's a small (fake) waterfall that's quite cute. Mostly because the sound of the water release for the sporadic falls sounds just like flushing the toilet :-)
But a nice peaceful area to rest and to walk around. I think if the weather was more cooperative, the fall colours would have been evident as well. I would come back.
Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Yuanshan Park is connected to the Yasaka Shrine, you can play together. The scenery of Yuanshan Park is very pleasant and very suitable for viewing and sightseeing. Yuanshan Park in the maple leaf season, red, orange, yellow and green, all colors overlap, beautiful, really friendly to the eyes. The scenery is so wonderful, there are not many tourists, the environment is quiet, really comfortable. Wear a kimono, stroll through it, experience the peace of the heart, and feel the beauty of nature.
Visit in spring for the famous weeping cherry blossom tree. Good to come here in the late afternoon so you can see the tree under daylight and also under lightup. Near to gion so you can continue on to gion after here!
Yuanshan Park is a free open park, also a place with cherry blossoms in summer and red leaves in autumn. There are small bridges and flowing water, there are quiet trails, and a good place to eat in the wild and bask in the sun. There are also leisure snacks such as fried chicken around. Sitting here in the sun, watching the kimono women take pictures here, is also a beauty!
a nice park with traditional wooden houses and life - worth to see greens here
There is a snow-filled slide in the park, free tires are provided next to it, there are two sizes, I love to play! With a little excitement~ suitable for people like me who want to play and are afraid. The whole park is covered with snow, super romantic! White lover theme park Dongjia Shoule buckwheat noodles Yuanshan Park because the sun starts to go down at 4 pm in winter. We stayed here for about two hours. If the time is abundant, we can play for a while. 1. Slides on the tires and slide down super cool, feeling the speed and passion. Many local children come here with their own ski equipment to practice~2. Walking in Yuanshan Park is a blockbuster film. It is strange. It is not cold at all a few degrees below zero. When the down jacket is taken off, how to concave the shape of the clothes in Xianxian is beautiful. The photo is no longer stinky after the po has passed~ In short, the feeling of wanting winter love songs is right here.
