Morning walk - Early autumn at Minoh park
That morning, Umeda station had been busy and crowded already... wanted to briefly leave the bustle of Osaka. Let's go to Minno, ride Takarazuka line subway only about 30 minutes from Osaka. Minoh park is famous for its "koyo" (autumn foliage), located not far from Minoo station.

Yoyogi Park, a big green lush forest right in the middle of Tokyo megapolitan
One of my favorite park in Tokyo is Yoyogi Park. Located right in the heart of Tokyo. Amid the concrete jungle of skyscrapers Tokyo megapolitan, there was a board green lush forest... Yoyogi Park.
Lush green Yoyogi Park
It's a wide scale park, one side of Yoyogi Park can be accessed from Yoyogi station, and the other side can be accessed from Harajuku station. I prefer the access from Harajuku station, because once we exit the station, directly jump into the middle of Tokyo young generation gathering center.
Just a step from Harajuku station is the entrance to Yoyogi Park, near Meiji Shrine. This kind of contrast makes me love Tokyo! Look to the left, there is a hype shopping centers, full of funky teenagers, ...and look to the right, there is a lust green deep forest with some kimono clad adults head up to the Meiji Shrine.
