Shidarezakura(シダレザクラ)in the Maruyama park(円山公園)



The cherry blossoms have started to bloom in various parts of Japan.
So I went to Maruyama park(円山公園) which is a public park next to Yaska Shrine(八坂神社) to check the cherry bloossoms.
But they haven't bloomed yet. They are still bud. I think it will take 1 more week.

Well, this park is one of the most crowded spot for cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto.
Especially around a tall Shidarezakura(シダレザクラ weeping cherry tree) on the picture, many people enjoy Hanami(花見)which is having a picnic under a blooming cherry tree every year.
Also this tall cherry tree gets lit up in the night. It's so beautiful.

I'll go there for Hanami when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Please join me if you are in Kyoto.
Let's have a party!!
