Description: |
|
Immediately north of the Imperial Palace moat is a central,
almost secret woodland park called Kitanomaru Park. Steps from
the hustle and hoardes of people walking and running around the
moat, this park is a little oasis where you can stroll, sit, and
feel like you are almost in the countryside. While the park is
relatively compact, it’s also big enough that everyone can do
his or her own thing.
The open lawn and pond area marks the
heart of the park. This is where the neighborhood dog owners
congregate, couples picnic, photographers capture natural
scenery, and random musicians sometimes play. Surrounding this
open space are winding networks of little woodland paths lined
by trees. Stray off the paved paths, particularly up to the
western ridge, to find a babbling brook, a little waterfall,
stepping stones, and a view down to rowing boats in the
Chidorigafuchi Park moat below. In the right season, the park
boasts some of the best cherry blossoms and fall foliage in the
city center. |
