A Walk around the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens (Part 1) / 旧芝離宮恩賜庭園の散歩 (パート1)

After seeing my fill of cherry blossoms along the Meguro River, I headed off to the Hama Rikyu Gardens. But the station I got off at was closer to the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens, so I decided to go there first.

目黒川の桜をたっぷり鑑賞したので、次に向かったのは浜離宮恩賜庭園。でも降りた駅に旧芝離宮恩賜庭園のほうが近かったので、そっちのほうに先行きました。

Great pictures. I know where this park is... it's across the road from the Pokemon Center. :-)

Haha, I haven't been to the Pokemon Center since my friend's kids in the States outgrew them.
