Maruyama Park is free to enter at all times and features wide, paved paths that are completely stroller-friendly. The large open lawn area is perfect for toddlers to run freely without worry of traffic or crowds. Public restrooms are clean and conveniently located near the park entrance. Visit in the morning before 10am to avoid tour bus crowds from Yasaka Shrine next door. Food stalls and ice cream vendors set up near the central pond most afternoons, offering snacks for 200-500 JPY (~$1.40-$3.50).
