Showa Kinen Park is not too far from Tokyo. If you take the Chuo Rapid train from Shinjuku, it takes only 33 minutes. There is an entry fee of 410 Yen, slightly more expensive than the entry fee for Shinjuku Gyoen,
Today is a public holiday in Japan, which coincides with the Culture Day. I was lucky to catch the last day of the Cosmos Flower Festival. Beautiful magenta, yellow and white cosmos at the park. There were also some dahlias. It was a sunny day day and the blue sky made a good backdrop for photos.
Near the Tachikawa Entrance of the park are rows of beautiful ginko trees that turn golden in colour as the sunset rays shine on the leaves. Autumn has begun!
