Let’s go to the park!

Hi, there! It’s me again – your new friend, Korilakkuma. There’s nothing quite like a perfect summer evening, especially after a long, cold winter and spring. Am I right?

Well, one pretty place to go after work to enjoy the evening (it’s a hard life for a bear ) is Wakkanai Park. The park is downtown, so it means that we get to ride the bus there. Yay!

Wakkanai Park
Directions: Get on a bus heading toward Noshappu. Get off at 神社前. Then, head straight up until your legs fall off. Or get someone to carry you up the hill in a purse. I’m telling you, this is a great method, especially if you have really short legs like I do.

At the park, there are memorials from the time Japan was at war with Russia.
The first one is in memory of 9 female radio operators, and the second is remembering those separated from their homes in the conflict. You can find more detailed information online, but these things are complicated to discuss on a blog.

There are tons of pretty spots all around the park. Here are some of my favorites:

And, of course, what is more fun to do at a park than read a good book?

Ah, it has been a great evening. Time for a little reflection as the sun begins to set.

I hope to see you on our next grand adventure together! I wonder where we will go?
