I had a beautiful run on Tuesday. I started at Nogawa Park and ran upstream along Nogawa River a while, then turned down south to stop by parks of Fuchu.
There were people exercising at Nogawa Park.
A line of elder ladies walking along Nogawa River.
The entrance to the Nature Observation Garden.
It is very peaceful in the garden.
A little pond by Musashino Park.
Onions were growing by apartments.
Sengenyama Park - a little mountain by Tama Cemetery.
Atop Sengenyama - a little tori with a shrine.
Little daylily flowers were pretty at Sengenyama Park.
Very nice trail of Sengenyama Park.
Heiwakinen (Peace Memorial) Park adjacent to Fuchunomori (Forest of Fuchu) Park.
A statue of a girl with a dove. She looks as if she's praying.
There was a big fenced area by the park.
I then realized the area used to be a US military occupied area - it is crumbling.
I found this link from 5 years ago. Wow!
I wonder what they plan to do with the area.
Fuchu Park - much less known park of the area compared to Fuchunomoni Park - elderly people were playing Gateball.
Nice little pond of Chofu Park.
A Japanese Garden of Chofunomori Park.
A nice grand fountain of Chofunomori Park.
A long promenade.
The park has a nice grassy area - great for kids to run around.
Children playing "Darumasanga koronda".
Families enjoying picnic in the park.
Chofu is a great place to raise children, that's for sure.
Tama Station - closest one from Tama Cemetery.
A train arrived at Tama Station.
Musashinonomori (Forest of Musashino) Park - this used to be US military area called Kantomura. This link describes both Kantomura and Chofu Airbase.
A wartime aircraft hangar preserved in Musashinonomori Park. Very low ceiling to avoid detection by the enemy bombers.
Description of the hangar - it used to store Hien.
Closer to my home - a big construction was going on.
