cosy spot for breakfast, in Kasairinkaikoen

I stopped for my breakfast at this hut in the park while trying to get out of the drizzle. There was another man who also took shelter, but in typical Japanese style, ignored me rather than be polite and say hello, 

 my breakfast consisted of an orange-cranberry bagel with bulgogi jerky and a good cup of red rose tea.

Tokyo waterfront from Kasairinkaikoen

Looking out at Tokyo bay from the banks of the Arakawa.

Looking towards the Tokyo gate bridge.

Looking back at the JR Keiyo-Musashino bridge. Koto-ku (ward) is on the opposite bank.

Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan

My new work area of Tokyo seems pretty. One of the gems which I passed when a teacher in Chuo-ku four years ago was Kasai Seaside Park. My new teaching area of Edogawa is in this neighborhood.
Looking up the hill from the beach back into the park. The best part about this park is it's FREE! If you want to go look at the sealife park in the park and pay around 1000yen, go ahead. This park is one of the biggest green areas in this part of the city.

Looking towards Haneda Airport across Tokyo Bay. This park covers a stretch of coastline about 4km long. It's a mix of beach, grass area and trees.
