Ryōnan Park

 Ryōnan Park is located in Hachiōji city in Tōkyō. The nearest station is JR or Keiō Takao station. There are some tourist attractions close to the station, for example, Mt.Takao, Takao baigō (the place that has a lot of plum trees), Kobotoke Checking Station ruin, Hachiōji castle, and Musashi Imperial Graveyard.

 It may not be seen as a tourist attraction, because it is not so big, but it has baseball field and Pool. The park border on Minami-Asa-kawa River, and there are a lot of cherry trees here.

 On the first ten days of March about seven years ago, I went to the park. It was not yet cherry blossom season, so I couldn’t see it. But Japanese White-eye was fling, the plum blossoms had started to bloom. Spring was coming.
