Nature Tour of Inokashira Park: Tokyo's Green Oasis

Day 1: On my first day in Tokyo, I decided to visit Inokashira Park, a natural oasis hidden in the bustling city. Departing from Shinjuku, it didn't take long by train to reach the park's entrance. As I walked into the park, I was greeted by lush trees and a serene lake. The air here was exceptionally fresh, lifting my spirits. I strolled along the lakeside path, enjoying the sight of ducks and wild ducks swimming leisurely on the lake, and occasionally seeing people quietly waiting for their catch. The sunlight filtering through the leaves created dappled shadows, making the entire lake shimmer. At noon, I had a light meal at a café in the park, and the view outside made me feel incredibly happy. Dining on the terrace under the sun, with a gentle breeze on my face, felt like being in a paradise. After lunch, I visited the small zoo in the park, where there were adorable sheep, rabbits, and pigs. The lively sheep, in particular, made me want to get close to them. Finally, I sat on a bench by the lake, quietly enjoying the sunset. The colorful evening glow reflected on the lake, marking a perfect end to the day's journey. Day 2: On the second day, I continued to explore the area around Inokashira Park. In the morning, I returned to the park, this time with my camera, ready to capture its beautiful moments. The park in the early morning was vastly different from the previous day, with mist lingering and hazy light filtering through the trees, adding a layer of mystery to the park. I walked along the lakeside path, looking for the best angles to shoot. The calm lake and the surrounding natural scenery blended together, compelling me to press the shutter. At this time, I noticed many people jogging energetically by the lake, giving me a sense of positivity and motivation.
