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! 💕

Tokyo German Village
Opened in 2001 in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, this theme park was designed to resemble the rural landscape of Germany. The park, which is about 19 times the size of Tokyo Dome, is divided into four areas based on the concept of "a place where nature and people can coexist": Lake Area, Country Area, Market Area, and Park Area. You can drive right into the park, which is very convenient given the vastness of the grounds.
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.

Kameido Tenjinja（Kameido Shrine）
This shrine is one of the ten shrines in Tokyo dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, known as the god of learning. The story began when Nobusuke Sugawara Otorii, a descendant of Michizane, first enshrined a god's statue. In 1662, the shrine pavilion, corridor, Shinju-ike pond, and arched bridge were built in imitation of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Kyushu, the headquarters of the shrine.
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 😄
