I'm from Tokyo. I was born downtown at Katsushika-ward. When I was a child, I lived in Chiba for 6 years to recuperate my bronchial asthma. 6 years later, I went back to my hometown. There is a big park close to my house and you can enjoy a variety of flowers throughout the seasons. Not only the scenery, but you can also enjoy doing barbecue and camping there! But I really recommend visiting here in Spring, because you can see beautiful cherry blossoms. There is an esplanade with cherry blossoms which continues for 3.5km. So many people come to see them, but the best time to visit is at night. Cherry blossoms are lighted up at night, therefore you can see a much more beautiful scene. I feel relaxed when I travel home through the park by bicycle. If my friends visits my hometown, I will definitely show them around!
