A national park [Kyoto Gyoen] developed on the site of a former lord's town.
The Kyoto Gyoen (Kyoto Imperial Gardens) was the residence of the Emperor until the Meiji Era (1868-1912), and was surrounded by the residences of the imperial family and court nobles. After the Meiji Restoration, the area fell into disrepair due to the transfer of the capital to Tokyo, but after the Ouchi Preservation Project, the area was reborn as a national park through tree planting and other improvements. Approximately 100,000 trees grow on the vast 65-hectare site.

In spring, about 1,000 cherry trees bloom one after another, including the famous cherry blossoms called "Izumi no edarezakura" and "Chikamori no edarezakura. In autumn, maple trees, ginkgo trees, and maple trees gradually change color, offering visitors a sense of the beauty of nature. Blue sheets are not allowed.
