A Walk around Gakugei Dai / 学芸大の散歩

When we went walking around Musashi Koyama, we took the bus to get there. Our route passes through Gakugei Dai which is a University neighborhood. It looked like it might be an interesting place for one of our walks so we went to explore.

以前武蔵小山の散歩に行った時、バスで行った。途中で学芸大を通って、面白そうと思ったんで、今度そこに散歩しおうと提案した。ちょっと前になるけど、そこに散歩しました。

The first place we always like to explore is the market street near the station. Unfortunately, aside from the market street, there was nothing of interest around here. We were about to head home when I saw a sign for a nearby park. Since I didn't want our walk to be a total waste, I suggested checking it out. The name of the place was called Himonya Park.

最初に探検したのは駅の前の商店街。商店街以外に面白い所がなっかた。帰ろうと思った時にあるサインを発見。駅からちょっと離れてる場所に公園があった。帰るのがもったないし、せっかく散歩で来てるから、その公園を行ってみることにした。碑文谷（ひもんや）公園でした。

As you can see, there was a lake, a little fountain, and a tiny shrine. What you cannot see from this picture is that this lake is full of turtles and ducks.

写真から見ると、池があって、噴水があって、それと小さな神社。写真から見れないのはこの池の中の大量な亀とアヒルが居ること。


Turtles on turtles!

亀が亀に乗ってる！

And ducks.

アヒルたちだ！

Utsukushima Shrine / 厳島神社

Before you think there some phallic symbol within the rock, take a closer look at the picture below.

ちょっと岩の中に変な物があると思ってる方、下記の写真をもっと細かくチェックしてみてね。

This was located near the shrine as well. Not sure what its purpose is. And with this, our walk was at an end.

これも神社の近くにあった。なんの為にあるかが謎ですね。これで、散歩がおしまい
