山丸東洛


MARUYAMA

Maruyama which lies to the east of Gion was established by an illustrious priest.

There are the houses from which all the city can be seen at once on the hill and from where one of the most bright views over this capital, can be obtained.

Accordingly they have furnished the Hotels for the foreigners who are coming to Kiyoto to visit the Exhibition.

There are elegant and gay gardens with many kinds of flowers or fruits, and pretty stones in it as you will see that on the engraving.

There are many cherry trees which blossom very beautifully in the spring; 80 the people go and feast there looking down upon the fine flowers from the halls.

This is the most delightful amusement to the people.

Maruyama is about 10 Chios from Sanjio in distance.
