We had such a great day in Gion, Kyoto! We mainly walked around Maruyama Park. We stumbled upon it, however after looking the park up a few days later we read it is the main center for cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto, pretty cool! After Maruyama Park we headed downtown into the shopping district, there were so many! Lots of little Japanese merchandise stores with cute figurines & traditional artwork. Also, we found another Disney store! We got the train back to Osaka & went to the Hankyu Department store to check out the art pavilion & accidentally found the Chocolate Expo! It was animal/circus themed & we enjoyed walking around! They had some amazingly artistic designs, all made of chocolate!
