Sarue Onshi Park

Relax and watch the people in the Tokyo suburbs

Peter Sidell   - 1 min read

Not far from Kinshicho and Nishi-Ojima stations on the eastern fringe of central Tokyo, Sarue Onshi Park is a large suburban park, frequented by joggers, families, dog-walkers and elementary school outings. With expansive lawns, outdoor exercise machines and a handful of ponds, it's a fun place to take a relaxing stroll, have a picnic, or engage in some people-watching, observing the everyday life of the city.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
