After consulting one of the English language guides to Tokyo I came across a reference to an area called Sendagi. What always amazes me is how well small open spaces are utilised in Tokyo providing an escape from the relentlessness of this city. This small park was only a short walk from the subway entrance. To get there you had to pass a restaurant which appeared to be “seasoning” their woks under the grease exhaust fan (I didn’t go in for lunch).
As I was there a little early in the morning many of the shops had not started to open but the florist had just finished arranging his stock for display.
Up on the hill behind Sendagi there are a number of temples and, at the top of one otherwise ordinary street, another view of Mount Fuji. Winter time is definitely the best time to take in these views as the summer haze all but obscures views of Mount Fuji at other times of the year.
