    押上駅からソラマチ方面とは反対に少し歩いたところにある公園です。 金網がぐるっと巡っていて外観は少し物騒な感じがしました。 外から見ても普通の公園にはあまりないような大きな遊具があり、入場料がかかるのかな?と思いきや無料で入ることが出来たので、それは良かったです。 門構えからしてプレイパーク的な公園だと思っていたのですが、やはり無料なだけあって「普通の公園より規模の大きい公園」レベルです。 ボラン...

Tokyo Areas

around-area-map

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.
