Umekoji Park Suzaku Garden

Suzaku Garden

An urban oasis close to Kyoto Station [Umekoji Park]

Opened in 1995 to commemorate the 1200th anniversary of the founding of the Heian capital. The park is dotted with spots where you can fully enjoy the richness of nature, such as the lawn square, the Japanese garden, and the Suzaku garden, which makes it hard to believe you are in the center of the city. Around the Suzaku Garden and Kawara Playground, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll while gazing at the tree-lined streets of autumn leaves. During the Umekoji Park Autumn Leaves Festival, the Suzaku garden is lit up, creating a magical atmosphere that is different from the daytime.
In addition, there are plenty of cultural spots such as the Chinchin train, which was introduced as the first Kyoto city tram, Kyoto City's first full-scale aquarium [Kyoto Aquarium], and Japan's largest railway museum [Kyoto Railway Museum]. It is popular among citizens as an urban oasis that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
