No Wine Day
Jan. 25
In the neighborhood, which is a 7-8 minutes-walk from my house, Tsurukawa-Kagoyama-En opened today.
In the Edo period, the former residence of the Kamikura family, who was the lord of this area, was developed as a park by Machida City.
In the past, the Pond Garden was often used for filming historical dramas, including NHK Taiga Drama.
The small hill that can be circled in a few minutes around the park is perfect for a walking course.
Admission is free, and I would like to stop by often.
