JR Yamanote Line or Metro Nanboku Line

☆☆☆☆☆

I went there during Hanami season

weather is cooling and no winter outfit is required

Just long sleeves with a jacket will do 

Here is the entrance

You will be needed a entrance fee of ￥300

There is a Japanese traditional rest place for photo session

picnic under the sakura (cherry blossom) tree

There is a lot "friendly" pigeons that will shake hand with you

but 

lately there is news that do not go near to pigeons 

as their "shit" is very poisonous 

and will cause decease and sickness to human

In front of the biggest sakura tree

Me and Mek (friend from the Philippines) decided to do some action

She went back Philippine though

so sad (T^T) missed her a lot

so the action......

well weird pose huh

The action is 

JUMP!!!!

This is the pose we wanna take!!

I love Sakura very much!!!

It is so pretty!!!!

After see the real Sakura by my own eyes

I get to know why Japanese loves them so much

But Sakura only last for 1 week after it is fully blossomed

The life span is so short

The garden is very big!!

Sakura tree is all around me!!

Here comes the Japanese Garden style Scenery

The garden is very huge

I think you will at least need 30 minutes- 1 hour to finish walk (in rush)

But since you pay the entrance fee!!!

we should enjoy the scenery and relax with the sakura trees

This is the center of the park

The lake

Another JUMP!!!

 

  

Don doubt it

I am a former Gymnast who trained for 8 years

But it was 10 years ago 

LOL

Although I cannot do any somersault anymore

I only left jumping

Here comes my split on air!!! 

I would wanna get some time to go to the autumn red leaves light up illumination 

this coming autumn

looking forward to it!!

楽しみ！
