Ejio Park 公園

This beautiful park is 30 minutes bike ride from my apartment. Unfortunately buses are infrequent... roll on getting a car! These pictures were taken at dusk. The water was so still. Occasionally you could see big fish jumping out of the water.

This is my favourite place to relax locally. In the summer you can hire boats and row on the lake. There is also free bike hire.

It's so peaceful to sit by the river with a book.

This huge suspension bridge is in the middle of the park.

Like most public parks in Japan, the lake is teeming with koi carp....
