SHOWA KINEN PARK IN TOKYO

 Showa kinen park is located in the surburbs of Tokyo.

  3. I wish there were horses in this park! Then we could see the entire park in one day. It's massive, isn't it?

    I want to go back in November/December to see the ginkgo avenues. ^^

    1. Dear Rurousha. Thank you It'S massive, It was former US military base.
      There are park trains in this park. Getting on the train,you can see the entire park. I recommend you to enter from Nishi Tachikwa gate and go out from Tachikawa gate.
      Tachikawa(立川) is in Chuuoh line. Nishi Tachikawa in Ohme line(青梅), one stop from Tachikawa.
      It's nice idea to go to there in tinted ginkgo leaf season.

  4. 実は昭和記念公園は一度も行ったことがありません。荒川区民だとどうしても埼玉・千葉・群馬に足が向いてしまうからでしょうか。芝生広場が、広いですねえ。
    人間が少なく見えますが、行かれたのは平日ですか、土日ですか。
    あとサンセットイエローのコスモスは、あちこちに自生してるのですか、もしくは昭和記念公園だけに多いのでしょうか。あまり見かけないような気がしました。これだけ大きな公園なので、やはり行くと色々な発見がありますね。

    1. 世空旅心様 こんばんは。土曜日に行きました。人は多かったですが、なるべく少なく見える様に写真を撮りました。

       このコスモスは園芸種ですから、名前にはこだわらない事にしています。
       ここは青梅線の西立川駅から入るとすぐ目の前が入り口です。帰りは立川門から出て人の歩いて行く方へ行けば5分ほどで立川駅にでます。
       米軍基地の跡地ですから、とても広いです。

  14. 昭和記念公園は素敵なところですね。秋晴れの日に、お弁当とカメラを持ってのんびり行きたいです。紫苑もコスモスも大好きな花。私も薄の根元になんばんぎせるを見ましたよ。あのイエローのコスモスは奈良の般若時にもたくさん咲いています。

    1. stardust 様 おはようございます。 ここは米軍の立川基地の跡地で、昭和天皇を記念して、国営昭和記念公園という名前です。

       とても広くて一日では回りきれません。お好きな花が有って良かったです。
       我が家の付近では、金木犀が満開です。1週間も経つと奈良まで金木犀前線が近づくかも知れません。
