A Walk around the Sky Tree and Sumida Park (Part 3) / スカイツリーと墨田公園の散歩 (パート3)

Also near the Sky Tree is a sign for a walking trail to the temples and shrines of the Seven Lucky Gods of Fortune. I decided to walk part of the path and checked out a couple of the temples. There are also other flowers besides cherry blossoms to enjoy as well.

スカイツリーの周辺は七福神巡りも楽しめる。僕は全部巡ってませんが、二ヶ所行ってみた。桜以外の花も楽しめる。

The water at this temple is believed to help you live a long life and is called choumeisui which literally translates to "long life water". Of course I had to have a sip.

長命時に名水の水があって、その名も“長命水”。もちろん飲みました。


Not sure if this is a monument or a tombstone, but it looks cool / お墓か記念碑のどちか分かりませんが、なんかカッコイイ


Heading back towards Asakusa station, I walked along the Sumida River and enjoyed viewing the cherry blossoms.

浅草駅に戻ろ時に隅田川沿いを歩いて、桜鑑賞をつづいた。

I crossed the bridge and took even more pictures of the Sky Tree.

橋を渡って、スカイツリーの写真またいっぱい撮りました。
