We went to a park yesterday in Shakujikoen. It was a really hot day and it probably wasn’t the smartest idea, but it was very beautiful! When we first arrived at the park there was a little shop with snacks and where you could rent some swan boats.
Outside of the little shop there were traditional Japanese sweets being made, they are called mochi. I have seen a lot of mochi around Japan before, but this is the first time I have seen it being made this way.
There were quite a few people fishing, but the water was very green. I hope they weren’t planning to eat the fish that they caught. We saw a couple of huge koi lurking under the water and also some turtles.
We saw some old guys playing with remote control boats, when I say old guys, I mean they were in their 70’s! There were groups of them everywhere, some had dolls inside their boats, some had pirate boats and others had modern ones. The modern one was in the water at the time we walked past. It was really fast! But the men started to show off with the boat when they realised we were watching them lol.
