Setagaya Park

Today in the morning I had this sudden desire to go and see cherry blossoms. I guess that could be a side-effect of seeing all this beautiful pictures of the cherry-blossom-season in Japan and Korea. After some research I found this nice little park - designed by the Japanese landscape gardener Ken Nakajima.

It is beautiful! It is very tranquil and I was able to relax immediately after arriving. I would have loved to sit down and just enjoy the view for many hours :)
The park contains a little pond (with lots of fishes^^), a Japanese tea house (that is not in use I think), cute little bridges and some stone sculptures - and most importantly I also found some cherry trees.












How to get there:
Take tram 37 to the station Barawitzkagasse  - walk straight into the direction the tram is going - you cannot miss the park :)
