The park is huge! You really need to walk a lot or take the little train inside. The vibe is kind of like a European countryside—it's cute, but it doesn't feel super 'German.'

Mount Takao
Mount Takao is a peak with an levation of 599 meters, located in Tokyo’s Hachioji City. With good transportation access, it’s a popular placee to go mountain climbing. While still in the city, it’s like taking a trip to the countryside! From families with small children to the elderly, about 3,000,000 people visit every year. It’s world famous as the mountain boasting the most climbers in the world.
The cable car is super steep, so the ride is a bit thrilling. The view from the top is totally worth the ticket price.

Lake Yamanakako Pleasure Boat “Swan Lake”
Yamanakako, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Once known as the “Princess Odette”, the newly revamped sightseeing boat cruising Lake Yamanakako is now operating as “Swan Lake”. The full route takes 20 minutes, offering a cozy ride as you gaze upon the gorgeous lake scenery and Mt. Fuji above.
The weather was great and it was nice and cool by the lake. The breeze on the sightseeing boat felt so comfortable 😌
The swan was super cute! 💕 -

Kameido Tenjin Shrine
One of the Tokyo Ten Shrines, Kameido Tenjin Shrine enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, revered as the deity of learning. Its history is said to have begun when Sugawara no Otori Nobusuke, a descendant of Michizane, enshrined a sacred statue here. In 1662, the shrine took its present form with the construction of its main sanctuary, corridors, Shinji Pond, arched bridges, and other features modeled after Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Kyushu, its head shrine. Known as the Dazaifu of the East, it is also called Higashi Dazaifu Tenmangu and Kameido Dazaifu Tenmangu.
Just like Dazaifu Tenmangu in Kyushu, this shrine is dedicated to the god of learning. It's kind of like the Wen Chang Temple in Taiwan. They say if you touch the head of the sacred ox and then touch your own head, you'll become wiser. Haha 😄
