As shown in the schedule below, it’s already at peak on March 20, 2021
Access
Take subway from Kyoto Station to Imadegawa
Nearby Places
From here, you can walk to Nijo Castle (South West) and Kamo River Delta (North East). Passing Kamo River Delta, there is a botanical garden.
Opinion
Compared to other places, not much to see. However, it may be a good place for relaxing and picnic. So it may be a nice place for family but not travellers who prefer sightseeing.
However, there is lightup at Nijo Castle until the middle of April (open from 18:00) (Info about this is being added)
