Japan trip day 5 ~ Expo 70 Commemorative park/Tsurumi Ryokuchi park

Today's itinerary for sightseeing was to visit Expo 70 Commemorative park and Tsurumi Ryokuchi park.  These are popular parks to view cherry blossoms but too bad, timing not right for us this time round.  However, we can still go since they are parks and can go as leisure walks.

We reached Expo 70 Commermorative park and started to walk around to find the flower garden.  The park is so huge that we can either take 3, 5 or 8 km route to walk around.  Of course we chose 3km.

Walked for some time and it was kind of relaxing and great to breathe fresh air in the morning.  Many old people walked in the park too.



































We took some pictures of tulips.  As we had taken too much in the past, we decided not to take too many this time round.  Realised that we had in fact walked part of the 8 km route unknowingly.

























Saw a playground with many kids playing.  Spent some time there.  Stayed for a few hours in the park and we proceeded to our next park.
















Took a picture of the seat of the subway train.  Very nice green.
















Arrived Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park and we walked around the park and had snacks for short break.  Great to sit and watch people walking/jogging.





























We found a few late blooming sakura trees and started to take "artistic" photos.  :)
















Stayed till evening time and went for shopping.  Bought some stuff tonight and had dinner at Namba walk area.  Most restaurants were closed by the time we finished our shopping.  Glad to find one still accepting us.  Hahaha...
