Wakabayashi Park

Fine. There’s seats in the shade or the sun, depending on the temperature and what you prefer.

Usually really crowded and a lot of kids running around. Most parents don’t watch their kids so it’s not super relaxing to have kids running literally a few cm away around you without masks, and kicking balls at you and stuff. I’m 39 weeks pregnant, but still get kids and even their parents kicking balls at full force almost hitting me even if I try to sit out of the way and far from the playground equipment/area.

It’s better if you can get a bench by katsura’s grave beside the park since it’s more peaceful.

It’s the only park nearby, and it’s pretty huge so it’s not so bad, Shoin shrine is nearby too so you can go there as well. Just the other people aren’t very considerate.
