❇️ Inokashira Park 恩赐公园
---------------------------------------
🌳🌿🍁 - It was about 5.30pm when we reached Inokashira Park. 🟨 By then, the skies in Tokyo had become a solemn grey, and it was much too dim for me to take any nice photos at all.
😘So we just strolled around the park, and take in the cool 16°degs Celsius autumnal air. As it grew even darker by 6pm, we saw people arriving at the park with their pet dogs and there were many joggers around too.
- The atmosphere here at Kichijoji area was a tad more relaxed than the central Shinjuku area. ✅️💙 Here, it seems more family-friendly. ● Mothers were out with their kids, young courting couples strolled about, elderly people strolled in groups, chatting and laughing in glee....it was a beautiful chilly autumnal day here in Tokyo.💜
● Kichijoji station area: ✔️ We walked around this neighbourhood after visiting Inokashira Goen (park). ✳️ The park is directly connected to the shopping districts you see.
➡️ It is a fashionable shopping area that appeals to younger people, with lots of coffee cafes and indie shops.
Beautiful scenic park. We had our Totoro puffs here before we visited the Ghibli Museum nearby! The park is very peaceful and has many seats. Perfect for picnic.
The toilet isn’t well maintained though because of the outdoors so I didn’t use it 😂
Lovely park with a zoo, pond, temple on the way from the train to Ghibli museum, making the walk feeling going into one of the Ghibli movies...
There is a temple but I found out the goddess by legend is not couple friendly so you might not want to pray for love there...success and money ia okay
Sakura was in full bloom. Not too many visitors on a weekday. I enjoyed so much the stunning scenery there. The pale pink colour of the Yoshino sakura was gorgeous. Full bloom only lasted a few days. Highly recommend to pay a visit in the near future to avoid disappointment.
Restrooms were available in the park. Easily accessible but unfortunately not that clean and smell a bit.
