Miyakoda Park

I went to see what Miyakoda park is all about, having never really gone by there before.

It is actually a fair bit bigger than I had thought it was and has a nice pond in the middle with a dam on the other side of the bridge pictured above, in the next picture you can see a turtle resting at the bottom of the dam.
There was also a pack of wild cats roaming around the park. They had no fear at all for the people around, the wife says it is because people feed the cats... make sense.

A final impression as I walked back to my car- always the most high tech solutions here in Japan...

All kidding aside, I am sure stringing the railing up to the top of the embankment has to be a temporary fix... doesn't it????
Okay, how often do you see this, a urinal that is open to public viewing...


Despite my jokes I thought the park is actually quite nice- and I could see how it could be a destination for lots of families (with a very large playground) and young couples for a romantic stroll. I will definitely return!
