Inokashira Park

| | TrackBacks (0)

As Tokyo city has sent cherry trees to Washington, Washington city also has sent flowering dogwood trees to Tokyo.

They were planted in Inokashira Park.

Unfortunately, the dogwoods are not at their best anymore, but you can still enjoy the park.

Inokashira Park is famous not only for its botanical garden but also for its zoo.

And the park is like a green oasis in the midst of Tokyo metropolis.

From here Sakura Hotel Hatagaya, you can easily reach the park.

Nearest station from our hotel is Hatagaya station of Keio New Line, within 2 minutes or less walk.

This Line connects with Keio Inokashira Line at Meidai-mae Station.

So, you should change to Keio Inokashira Line at the station.

Inokashira Koen station(that means Inokashira Park station) is placed on the Keio Inokashira Line.

Near this Inokashira Park, there is Mitaka Ghibli Museum, too.

Safe state Japan

few days ago,when I had dinner with my American friend who lives in Japan.

He was talking about how safe state Japan is.

 

For example,

If you asks Japanese people "Somewhere in this photograph is a iImitation",

all the Japanese will answer "It is not imitation."

How do you think?

Probably, your answer is,

"An uninhabited vending machine cannot be in such a place!"

However, there is not imitation photograph.

Japan is such a safe and peaceful country.

That a vending machine is very safe if it becomes in the night.

 

So, Please enjoy sightseeing in Japan!!
