3/5 Ian G. “Goat” F. 1 year ago on Google
I've
sat
there
many,
many
times
over
the
last
three
years
with
a
coffee
after
shopping
at
the
adjacent
Seiyu.
I
appreciate
the
shade
if
you
can
score
one
of
the
rare
benches
(nearby
Sun
Park
is
far
bigger
but
has
almost
zero
shade
in
summer),
and
I
actually
like
the
pigeons.
Negatives:
There
are
trashcans
-
so
rare
in
Japanese
parks
-
but
they
are
ALWAYS
jammed
and
overflowing
onto
the
ground.
Doesn't
anybody
empty
them?
Entering
through
that
ugly
maze
of
metal
barriers
-
do
urban
planners
take
courses
in
aesthetics?
-
is
always
annoying.
I
long
ago
nicknamed
it
Shitbird
Park
because
the
"quality"
of
some
of
its
human
visitors
is
rock-bottom.
I'm
not
talking
about
the
homeless,
it's
the
neanderthals
responsible
for
all
the
empty
cans,
cigarette
butts
and
bento
packages
dumped
all
over
the
place
the
night
before.
These
people
need
some
good
healthy
public
shaming.
Also,
as
others
have
noted,
why
the
hell
are
we
still
catering
to
drug
addicts
-
er,
I
mean
cigarette
smokers
-
so
generously
in
the
21st
century?
These
sad,
selfish
nitwits
have
no
concern
for
the
kids
or
other
visitors
who
come
there
-
there's
usually
the
stench
of
smoke
in
the
air
there.
Wake
up,
Japan.
All
in
all,
the
trees
and
the
birds
and
an
occasional
bench
are
not
quite
compensation
enough...but
I'll
still
drop
by
because
it's
a
respite
from
the
the
noise
and
crowds
of
surrounding
streets.
