Tsujido Kaihin Koen / Tsujido, Kanagawa

There's a park its spacious ground covered with lawn and surrounded by the beach. I want you to recommend a beautiful place that located in my hometown, Tsujido Kaihin Park.


Access:
Take the JR Tokaido Line and get off the train at Tsujido(辻堂).
It takes about an hour to get to Tsujido from Tokyo Station.

From Tsujido Station, pass through a ticket gate, head your way to south exit.

Take a walk like this and go down by a elevator.

Find a bus stop No.2.

Catch the bus which indicate "辻03 辻堂団地".

Ask for bus driver that I want to go to Tsujido Kaihin Koen and have a seat near bus driver. I guess a bus dviver would tell you when the bus arrive at Tsujido Kaihin Koen. Pay 190yen when you get off the bus.

Tsujido Kaihin Park entrance.

Inside the park.


Sky cycle which is double riding bicycle. It cost 210yen for adult.

Jumbo Pool which opend from mid July to beginning of September.

Take this road to the beach.

The beach.

Be careful of "Tombi" which is a kind of hawks, Do they called Kite in English? If you bring something to eat on the beach, a kite would be circling above us. Suddenly go into a dive and try to take away your foods from behind you.

As if you were in California.

Tokyo's Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot / Kudanshita, Tokyo

When are the best season to visit Tokyo? Either seasons are fine but I think the best season to visit Tokyo is the spring. It has a mild climate and high probability of having sunny weather. Furthermore, spring is the season in which the cherry blossoms bloom. From urban area to residential districts. There are so many cherry blossoms not only Tokyo but also all over Japan.

Well, I'll show you Tokyo's Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot where I recommend the most.

First of all, Let's go to the Yasukuni Shrine from Subway Kudanshita Station.

https://easytipstokyo.blogspot.com/2018/10/yasukuni-shrine-kudanshita-tokyo.html

Yasukuni Shrine was established to commemorate and honor the achievements of those who dedicated their precious lives to Japan and more than 2,466,000 divinities are enshrined here. During the closing stages of the World War 2, there was a strong possibilities of Japan's lost battle. The fighter pilots tried to suicide attacks into the American warships to destroy and wanted to enshrines in the Yasukuni Shrine after their death. Japanese soldiers thought that was their virtues to falling like a cherry blossoms. Every time I see the cherry blossoms falling at Yasukuni Shrine, I always felt like as if the spirits of the war dead set them free from having distress.





.....
Now, Let me show you around Chidorigahuchi. You can go there about two minutes from Kudanshita Station, but heading to moat that has water from Yasukuni Shrine, you can be get there about five minutes.

A walkway along the moat lined with cherry blossom trees that looks like a tunnel which made of cherry blossom trees. There are some many Cherry blossom blooms along an inclined plane along the moat and illuminated at night.
Seeing all those cherry blossoms would be really take your breath away.
Apparently, it would be the one of the memorable travel experience in your life.











Usually, Cherry blossoms in Tokyo blooms between 20th to 25th of March and into full bloom at beginning of April. and then, Cherry blossoms falls a week later.
When the Cherry blossoms start falling, its petals thrown up by a wind and falling down around you like a snow storm which make you feel as if you are the movie star.
