Beautiful park and a great spot for Hanami! Go there at the end of the afternoon and just sit on a bamboo mat (don't forget to take your shoes of) and have a beer or sake and something to eat!
The garden is absolutely stunning! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the views are breathtaking. Don't miss the chance to visit while in Kyoto. I highly recommend it to everyone!
벚꽃 만개한 시기(4월 초)에, 야간 개장을 해서 들어갈 수 있었어요. 벚꽃도 정말 많고, 간이 상점도 많아서. 먹고, 보고, 마시고, 놀기 좋았어요. 다들 늦게까지 삼삼오오 모여서 꽃놀이 즐기기에 여념이 없더라고요. 중간에 200년이상 된 벚꽃이 정말 장관이에요~ 정말 넓어서 벚꽃 끝도 없이 보았답니다.
When the sakura are in full bloom, this park becomes Kyoto's most crowded spot for "Hanami". The centerpiece of the park is a tall shidarezakura (weeping cherry tree), which gets lit up at night.
Great night scene during Sakura (~March / April) - The locals are out in full force, bring a park blanket and some food and drinks and camp out for a few hours.
