Nem flowers bloom and feet healthy stone path (Sakuragawa Park)

[Yurikamome] June 27, 2011 08:30

A wonderful park ... I found Sakuragawa Park.   Irifune, 1-1-13, Chuo-ku.

In the Edo period, it was excavated as a ferry 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 the landfill of Sakuragawa.

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

It's been more than 10 years ago, but when I lived in Taipei, such a stone path was built longer behind the grounds of the National Father Memorial Hall.

When I walked, my soles hurt very much at first, but when I walked with patience the pain, it stopped painful.

It was explained that various parts of the internal organs were stimulated with the intention of massage on the soles, and since I was free, I walked well alone.

For me, I found this little path that reminded me of Taipei and was full of nostalgia

There was such a cute playground equipment.

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

I took a picture with permission.

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

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

Coming pleasure ... This character also feels soft and fun as everyone enjoys together.
