Chapter 6 --

Wonderful Parks

The parks of Tokyo are very popular places that serve a number of purposes. They can be casual, social spaces where people sit on the grass and relax, picnic and play frisbee, ride bikes, or jog. They can also be places where you go to see specific things--like animals and old farmhouses, or street entertainers and free concerts. There are even some where you can take a blissful walk in the woods or a peaceful stroll along the seashore.

Yes, Tokyo's green spaces are here for you to enjoy, and are one of the delightful ingredients that makes Tokyo what it is today--a place where you never know what interesting things may await you around the very next corner.
