I present you the best park around Tokyo: Shinrin Koen in Chiba – 60km, only an hour drive from Tokyo. There’s just so much to do there, really great for kids. To move around, either use the little shuttle train, or best, rent bicycles as the park is huge.
Shinrin Koen in Saitama is not only a nice park if you have kids, but also if you like flowers.
Impressive setup for portrait: they were checking the outcome live on the monitor.
Another lovely shot (in my view) from Shinrin Koen: a poppy flower!
Probably my favourite picture from our visit to Shinrin Koen: beautiful afternoon light playing with fresh green plants on the side of a deserted path.
