After her long nap, we just had time to go and investigate Musashi Koyama, somewhere new for us. It's a lovely area that feels more like a provincial town than a central Tokyo ward. The park was set in woodland and was a decent size. Some people were picnicking under cherry trees, but most were just enjoying a Sunday with the kids: footie, baseball and badminton being the main activities. Nick and I played frisbee while Emily systematically worked her way through a bed of pansies. On our way out of the park we were surprised to see a real live rabbit. Not sure if it was a pet or a tame wild one. There were also three cats napping in the shrubs that got Emily very excited. The park is rather hard to find as there is a maze of small haphazard streets between there and the station, so we walked twice as far as we needed to and therefore had no time to relax over coffee and cake as planned.
My evening run was very difficult. I absolutely have to get new trainers before I go again as I was in agony due to the lack of shock absorption in my ancient footwear.
