    場所です。都内にいるとは思えないほど自然が沢山あって避暑地みたいな場所です。しかも自然をそのまま保存しようと頑張ってます。ベンチで読書してる人、ボォーっとしてる人、たくさんいます。今度は本でも持って行こうかな‼️石神井公園に行った時には是非行ってみてください。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
