One of my favorite spots in the park: the Kiyomizu Kannon-do (清水観音堂 ) temple with its round "Moon Pine" (Tsuki no Matsu/月の松) which Hiroshige, back in the mid-late 1850s, thought as one of the "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei/名所江戸百景). I totally agree -even without the cherry blossoms.
