Relaxing day at Yumenoshima

Yumenoshima, literally "land of dreams" is reclaimed landfill at south east part of Koto-city.
It was a final landfill site for 10 years from 1957, but thereafter was developed into beautiful "Yumenoshima Park" in 1978.
This park is currently known as one of the largest green space area in Tokyo. We can observe various wildflowers blooming season to season.

In BBQ area, facilities and pits are free of charge if it they are reserved. The area is capable for eating and drinking together with pets. During holidays and weekends, here is full of families and students.

On a rainy day? No problem.
At "Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome" located at east of park, we can enjoy walking through rare tropical plants and even falls in three big atriums. Taking a breather at cozy café in it is also nice.

In west side of park, many grounds and fields are open to general public in addition to students. The new ground for archery event in Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic game is now under construction.

How about going for a walk at Yumenoshima and have a relaxing day there?
