Blog#9: Taking a walk

 Hi, I'm Ayako Kawanaka.
 I love taking a walk so much. When I can find the time, I often go outside. Mejiro has a lot of beautiful park.Today, I introduce one of my favorite park I finded. This is a picture of "Otomeyama Park".
 "Otomeyama Park" is near from our univrsity. It takes only 10 minutes. "Otome" means "御留め" in Japanease. It's not means "乙女". This name came from this park's history. The Edo Era, this place was Tokugawa shogun's hunting ground. So, people could not tresoass this place. This is the origin of "Otomeyama Park".
 In the park, there is many kinds of trees, waters, and animals.

I can meet many cats in the park. They were very friendly. They often came up to me. Also, the little river flows through the park. Actually, we can see fireflies in summer. I couldn't go this summer, so I want to see it next summer.
 There are many good place to go at Mejiro. If you have a chance, it's good for you to go for a walk.
Something new discovery is waiting for you!

  4. Ayako,

    Thank you for introducing this park - I would like to go there, since I really like walking too. Your photos are very inviting. Please tell me how to get there from Gakushuin - or perhaps we could go there together? From your blog, I got to know that Mejiro area has a long long history. How interesting.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Ms. MacGregor

    Ms.MacGregor, thank you for your link. I saw it. It's so easy to understand!
    I also recomend to you the another park, "Yacho no mori Park". This park has very beautiful autumnal tints!
    This season is so suitable for walking.
