Kyoto Prefectural Office - Former Main Building

뚜래블러

In the central garden of the Kyoto Prefectural Office’s old main building, built in 1904 and used as the office building for Kyoto Prefecture until 1971, stands a large cherry blossom tree. It is a cherry blossom tree that is a descendant of the Sidarezakura (Weeping Cherry) first planted in Maruyama Park, which has been significantly lessened in lushness due to the effects of a typhoon in 2018. In addition to this central Sidarezakura, a few other cherry blossom trees can be seen in the garden. Not only the cherry blossoms, but the building itself, built in the Neo-Renaissance style, is also worth seeing. Since it is a relatively unknown space to tourists, it is relatively quiet, and the view of the cherry blossoms through the window frames is also a sight to behold, making it a place worth visiting at least once.
