I love walking. But right now... My feet hurt so much I am starting to wonder if they even exist anymore.

Still in Tokyo? It's kind of a big place...

Yes 😊 But today I decided to take a train to the countryside. Well, as far as I could possibly tolerate at least, which happened to be Takahata Fudoson 👍 and Showa Kinen 🤯

I haven't been to either. How are they? (In more than one emoji)

The first one is a large group temples. One is built on the flank of an hill and offers some light hiking opportunities if you wanna go further.

It also features some really cute statues, here a sample of four:

The other is a park you can reach from there by taking a monorail. It is gigantic, and really nice! Lucky as I am, I arrived during the flowering of one of their flower fields 😊

I went to Shōwa Kinen Kōen a few years back because their cherry blossoms are about a week behind the rest of the Tōkyō metro area, and when you happen to arrive on April 15 (2017), that's useful.
