A Historical Study on Maruyama Park: from 1871 down to 1886

Abstract

Maruyama park was realized in process of dismantling above-mentioned precincts. But the area of it was rambling and split into three parts. It shows that the landownership condition was very complicated. The legislation of public parks started in 1873 by the notification of the government. Yasaka shrine's precinct, a part of Maruyama park, was proposed as a concrete example. But it was not realized. The opportunity of making the public park was the establishment of Maruyama hot spring. And the area including it was legally apointed a place of scenic beauty in 1877.
