    Tokyo Kita-ku Ouji 1-1-3
    A public park located close to Oji Station in Oji, Kita City, Tokyo. There are some 600 Yoshino cherries, sato-zakura cherries, and other cherry tree varieties growing on the grounds, and the park is a popular destination for enjoying cherry blossom viewing in the spring. A monorail-style lift known as the Ascargot operates in the park; visitors can ride it for free and enjoy the leisurely ride to the top of Asukayama.

    I joined Heygo live streamed tour of this park with the wonderful guide, Eriko. She is a charming and gentle lady who showed us the local park for sakura viewing away from the crowd. She also...

    Tokyo Bunkyou-ku Honkomagome 6
    Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, who served the shogunate as a Tairo-kaku (“Great Elder”) during the era of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth-generation Tokugawa shogun, created this garden in an area full of daimyo residences. With its undulating paths and well-planned design, the Japanese garden is particularly famous for its azaleas and weeping sakura close to the garden entrance. The gardens are lit up at night during the spring when cherry blossoms are in bloom and again in autumn when the foliage is turning colors. The garden evokes scenery of Kishu (in Wakayama) with the middle Daisensui Pond and its Nakanoshima Island. Many foreign tourists enjoy visiting Rikugien.

    Located in the Rikugien Garden, this was a perfect little stop to sit, rest and rejuvenate. While I loved the garden this tea house was a great break with a beautiful view. It was a little crowded...

    Tokyo Kita-ku Kishimachi 1-15-25
    "A strolling garden full of waterfalls and natural beauty located a 10-minute walk from Oji Station. Seven waterfalls known as the ""Seven Falls of Oji"" once existed in the area, but today of these only Nanushi Waterfall remains. Nanushi Waterfall is comprised of four parts - the eight-meter-tall Odaki, the Medaki, Dokkonotaki, and Yugyokunotaki. The garden's design skillfully incorporates the natural landscape, making use of slopes planted with more than 100 Japanese mountain maples, Japanese zelkovas, and beech trees. The garden is also famously known as a habitat for Heike fireflies and is the perfect place to go for a stroll and take in the changes of the season."

    何度か足を運んでいますが、回遊式庭園を回っていて感じることは、男滝は日曜日には流れていることが有るが、他の滝は殆ど流れておらず残念に思いながら変えr事が多い。時間を決めてでも全ての滝の水を流すことが有ってもよいのでは。

    Tokyo Arakawa-ku Nishiogu 8-33-7
    "Located right next to the Arakawa Shako-mae stop on the Toden Arakawa Line. Two rare old streetcar models are displayed in this square modeled after an old-fashioned Toden tram stop. One is a 5500 series car, which incorporated a streamlined shape, then the latest technological advance from America at the time; nicknamed the PCC Car, inside there is a diorama depicting what the local area looked like around the late 50s to early 60s. The other is a Old 7500 series car affectionately known as the Gakuen-go (""School Bus""). Visitors can also see streetcars in operating today coming and going from the depot directly adjacent."

    小学校の時乗った車両がありました。 和製PCCカー5000系は上野駅ー品川駅の1系統に走っていて、見かけると乗っていました。 7500系もちょくちょく乗っていました。 懐かしい友達に会ったような気持ちになりました。

    Tokyo Arakawa-ku Minami-senju 8-13-1
    "A metropolitan park located on the eastern tip of Arakawa Ward. Designed to be a wide open, riverside park with an abundance of water and greenery, park facilities include a scenic observatory square, natural grass lawn, and children's play area. The centerpiece of the park is the giant, three story-tall playground nicknamed the ""Twin Towers."" Outstandingly popular with children, from the top, you can see Tokyo Skytree. The park also has a square which is the only one in the city where you can barbecue, and on weekends it bustles with families. In addition, the park is a safety evacuation area which can accommodate around 120 thousand people in the event of an earthquake."

    A bit dry and barren and grey. Cant see the attraction in February and its description as a water park is a bit of a mystery.

    さくらトラム 荒川二丁目駅直結のため、 アクセスは良い。 初訪問した日は、アスレチック広場の地面半分が 水を撒かれた様で泥まみれ。。。 前日・当日の天候も良かったはずだが、 なぜこんな酷い状態にするのか疑問。 親子で靴が泥まみれになり、最悪。 そして、交通園では自転車が乗れるとの事で行ってみたが、 一部が工事中のため、自転車に乗れる子供は利用不可。 受付担当に練習中の子供だけ利用可と言われたが...

    Tokyo Kita-ku Jujodai 1-2-1

    こちらは、自衛隊十条基地隣にある北区の公園です。 (もともとは米軍接収の王子キャンプだったそうです) 園内には野球場やテニスコートなどのスポーツ施設やサイクリングコースなどがあり、木々が多く鳥のさえずりがこだましてました。 中央公園正面入口に建つ白亜の洋風建物は綺麗で文化センターとして利用されているようでした。(もともとは米陸軍司令部だったそうです)

    こちらは、都電荒川線、新庚申塚駅より巣鴨方面に徒歩で約6分くらいにある公園です。 東京外国語大学のキャンパスの移転による跡地の南エリアがこの公園だそうで、災害時の避難場所にも指定されていました。 丘陵地をうまく利用した公園で緑がとても綺麗です。 遊具もあり子供たちが楽しんでいました。

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
