Nogawa Kouen

Nogawa Kouen （野川公園） is a very large park about 10 minutes away on bicycle. If you're addicted to cherry blossoms, it's going to be a great place for you. There're also pine trees, flowers and yes, the Nogawa River, duh!

(Below, 7 photos:) If you haven't already seen enough photos of cherry blossoms, here you go again:

(Above:) This is the main road that separates the park into two sections. There're three pedestrian bridges in between where you can cross over to the other side. And that factory can be seen from the campus? I think it's an eyesore too!

(Above, 2 photos:) That's Nogawa River, obviously. There're four or five bridges, each having a name.

(Above:) This is Sakura Bridge （桜橋, Sakura Hashi）.

(Above:) A view from the riverside.

(Above:) This is an observation centre by the river.



(Above, 3 photos:) This is a fenced up section in the park where flower enthusiasts get to see interesting plants. An old lady was watching a bunch of grass with binoculars. Well, obviously, I don't know much about flowers!

We'll see how's the scenery in this park during autumn!
