Inuyama Castle view

Something of a reverse angle of today’s photo can be found here.

In the distance, on the right, you can see the top of a giant ferris wheel. This is part of Japan Monkey Park (日本モンキーパーク), an amusement park for little kids.

The barges in the river are loaded with fireworks in this photo. Later in the evening I experienced the show.

Should you ever stumble upon the above sign, be sure to look around as you will find yourself in one of the most spectacular natural scenes in the world.

昇仙峡

Strangely, I was the only person there. Given the heat (humid and over 100 degrees), I wasn’t too surprised. I’m guessing this location is rather crowded on a weekend in spring or fall.

There is a picnic table next to the Arakawa River at this spot. Bring a bento, and enjoy the view.

Odaiba Statue of Liberty

東京の自由の女神像

The French Statue of Liberty came to Odaiba in Tokyo from April 1998 to May 1999 in commemoration of “The French year in Japan”. The Japanese missed it so much that in 2000 a replica was erected at the same place. Today’s photo comes from 2010.
