Full of charm! Let's go to Harumi Wharf Park
Hello. I'm an active correspondent, Hanes.
Here, the fine autumn weather continues, and we are actively enjoying the autumn of sports and the autumn of appetite.
Last month, when I visited Harumi for the first time in a long time at the Asashio Waterside Festa, I strolled around Harumi Wharf Park, which had just opened in early October.
In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of the park that left a personal impression.
1. You can enjoy looking up and looking down.
For me, the first impression of Harumi Wharf Park is the park with the most visible sky in Chuo-ku.
Especially when facing the south side facing Tokyo Bay, there is a sense of openness that is unlikely to be Chuo-ku.
If you look up and look at the sky, you will see airplanes and helicopters coming and going over the sky.
It is not as powerful as low-flying airplanes seen in parks near Haneda Airport, but it is a spot where you can enjoy shooting airplanes.♪
I was able to see a helicopter of the Tokyo Fire Department flying over Harumi, but I was able to see a part of it.
The Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal is now waiting for demolition, but there is a unique landscape that can only be enjoyed before it is dismantled.
It can be seen by lowering your eyes around the fountain in the park.
Yes, it is the upside down Harumi cruise liner terminal reflected in the puddles around the fountain!
Harumi Wharf Park has opened, and you can see the Harumi Passenger Terminal as much as you want from close up.
Why don't you go to see this characteristic terminal once again before dismantling begins?
2. Perfect for running and walking
There is a 400m running walking course in the park.
Although it is a short course, it is a track shape, so you can enjoy the different scenery of east, west, north and south, and you can see the distance you exercised with the numbers written on the ground.
Because the place where the players who participated in the global sports festival stayed is nearby, the motivation to exercise naturally increases! ?
There are playground equipment for children in the park, so it may be fun to run a truck one lap when you go to play with your family.
3. Seasonal plants can be loved
When there were restrictions on behavior due to the effects of infectious diseases, this blog has updated a series entitled "Chuo-ku with Birth Flowers".
It is also true that I became sensitive to plants that entertain the eyes of people who go to the city in Chuo-ku.
So, I checked what kind of plants are planted in Harumi Wharf Park.
Then, I found something called "glass garden" that creates a sense of season!
In addition, there are gardens where seasonal plants are planted in spring, summer, autumn, and autumn are planted. At the "Autumn Border Garden", grass ears of glass such as Japanese pampas grass, pampas grass, peniscetam, panikam, and stippa, and the vividness of autumn leaves were informed that autumn is autumn.
Unusual plants such as heavy metal and ponytails are also planted, and I'm glad that you can read the QR code on the tree name plate and plant name label and check it easily with flower pedia.♪
4. At the entrance of the sea, you can touch the past exchanges with overseas
As introduced in the October 2019 article, "Harumi Wharf Connecting the World-HMS Enterprise Call-", the Harumi Passenger Terminal was visited by many overseas cruise ships.
At the neighboring Harumi Wharf Park, you can learn a part of the exchange with overseas so far.
On this monument, a tree was planted in 1995 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the sister port partnership between the Port of Tokyo and the Port of New York and New Jersey, and the garden was nicknamed "New York New Jersey Garden".
Nearby are monuments and hoisting stands commemorating Osamu Yoshi in Chile and Japan.
When I took a walk around the park, I could see the connection between Japan and overseas that I didn't know before, and it was interesting, and it was surprisingly fast.
In addition, you can feel the Legacy of the world-class sports festival held in 2021 from the information board at Harumi Wharf Park.
At the end
This time, "You can enjoy looking up and looking down", "It is perfect for running and walking", "I love seasonal plants", "I can touch the exchange with overseas so far at the entrance of the sea" I introduced the charm of Harumi Wharf Park from the four points of "I can do it", but how was it?
If you actually visit the park, you will surely find different charms.
Harumi Wharf Park, a new spot where you can enjoy walking, training, sightseeing, refreshment, regardless of men and women of all ages.
The maintenance of the surrounding area is currently underway, and we can't keep an eye on the future changes in the Harumi area!
