Negishi Forest Park 根岸公園
4K Virtual Tour Part II
Here is brief information about Negishi Forest Park.
Negishi Forest Park 根岸公園 is one of my favorite places to go on a beautiful day.
It is on a hilly area of Negishi, a 40 minute-walk from the Yamate area.
The park contained the first horse race track in the nation until 70 years ago. The oval walk of 1.3km and the ivy covered racetrack stands remind you of it. Now trees are planted and the grass covers a large part of the park.
I like this place because there is no noise from the streets, but rather, chirping of birds. It is a quiet and peaceful place. You can forget you are in the town. Some people are jogging. Some are walking with their dogs. Some are playing with balls on the grass. Some are doing Tai Chi under the tree.
It is a place of relaxation.
Throughout the year, people visit this park. There are some 350 cherry trees in the park. When cherry blossoms bloom in spring, people come with their families or friends to spend weekends having lunch on the grass under the trees.
