Flowers of Goshin (nem) bloom and sole health stone road (Sakuragawa Park)

[Yurikamome] June 27, 2011 08:30

A beautiful park... I found Sakuragawa Park.   It is 1-13, Irifune, Chuo-ku.

During the Edo period, it was excavated as a boat moat that flows from the downstream of the Kyobashi River to the Sumida River.

It was called Hatchobori (Meiji period was renamed Sakuragawa).

This park was built on a landfill in Sakuragawa.

It is adjacent to Hatchobori Station on the JR and Metro Hibiya Line.

More than a decade ago, when I lived in Taipei, this stone road was built much longer behind the site of the Pater Patriae Memorial.

When I walked, the soles hurt very much at first, but when I walked with the pain, I stopped hurting.

He explained that he stimulated various parts of the internal organs with the intention of massage on the soles, and because he was free, he walked often alone.

It was full of nostalgia for me to discover this little road that reminds me of Taipei.

  I don't know what this monument means, but I'd like to check it out in it.

There was such a cute playground equipment.

A young mother had a good time with a boy about 2 years old.

I was allowed to take a picture with permission.

When my grandson came in the United States, I thought I would bring him here and play ...

It blooms in Hamarikyu, but the flowers of Sakuragawa Park are now very beautiful.

Good luck ... This character also feels soft and fun as everyone enjoys together.
