Full of charm! Let's go to Harumi Wharf Park to play
Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
The fine autumn weather has continued so far, and I am actively enjoying the fall of sports and the fall of appetite.
Last month, when I visited Harumi for the first time in a long time at the Asashio Mizube Festa, I strolled around Harumi Wharf Park, which was 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 it both up and down.
For me, the first impression of Harumi Wharf Park is the park with the largest 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.
Although it is not as powerful as a low-flying airplane that can be seen in a park near Haneda Airport, it is a spot where you can also enjoy shooting airplanes.♪
I was able to see a helicopter from the Tokyo Fire Department flying over Harumi, although I was able to see some of them.
The Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal is now waiting for dismantling, but there is a unique scenery that can only be enjoyed before dismantling.
It can be seen when you look down around the fountain in the park.
Yes, it is the upside down Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal reflected in the puddles around the fountain!
Harumi Wharf Park has opened, and you can now view the Harumi Passenger Terminal as much as you want from close.
Before dismantling begins, why not go to see this characteristic terminal once again?
2. Perfect for running and walking
In the park, there is a 400m running walking course.
Although it is a short course, it is shaped like a truck, so you can enjoy different scenery from east, west, north and south, and you can see the distance you exercised with the numbers written on the ground.
The motivation to exercise naturally increases the motivation to exercise because the place where players in the global sports festival stayed is right next to it! ?
There are playground equipment for children in the park, so it may be fun to run around the truck when you go to play with your family.
3. Seasonal plants are loved
When there were restrictions on behavior due to the effects of infectious diseases, this blog has updated the series entitled "Chuo-ku Touring with Birth Flowers".
It is also true that this has become more sensitive to plants that will delight 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 discovered something called "glass garden" that creates a sense of the season!
In addition, there are gardens where plants from spring, summer, autumn, and other seasons are planted, and at the Autumn Border Garden, the fluctuation of grass ears of grasses such as Japanese pampas grass, Pampas grass, penisetam, panigam, and stipa, and the vividness of autumn leaves.
Rare plants such as heavy metal and ponytails are also planted, and I'm glad that those who are interested can read the QR code on the tree name plate and plant name label and easily check it with flower pedia.♪
4. At the gateway to the sea, you can experience exchanges with overseas.
As introduced in the October 2019 article, "Harumi Wharf that Connects the World: HMS Enterprise Port Call-", the Harumi Passenger Terminal has also called many overseas passenger ships.
At Harumi Wharf Park next door, you can learn about some of the exchanges with overseas so far.
This monument was planted in 1995 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the sister port partnership between Tokyo Port and New Jersey Port in New York, and the nickname of the garden set up here was named "New York New Jersey Garden". It is written that it was done.
Nearby are monuments and hoisting stands commemorating Chile and Japan's Osamu Yoshi.
When I took a leisurely stroll through 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 quick.
In addition, you can feel the legacy of the global sports festival held in 2021 from the information board at Harumi Wharf Park.
Yeah
This time, "I can enjoy looking up and looking down", "It's perfect for running and walking", "I love seasonal plants", "I can interact with overseas at the entrance of the sea" I introduced the charm of Harumi Wharf Park from the four points of "I can touch", but how was it?
When you actually visit the park, you will surely find different charms.
Harumi Wharf Park is a new spot that can be enjoyed regardless of men and women of all ages for walking, training, sightseeing, refreshment.
The maintenance of the surrounding area is currently underway, so keep an eye on the changes in the Harumi area in the future!
