This time, we have the Haneda strolling guide. We mainly walked from Keikyu line Otorii station to Anamori-inari station.
It was sunny and breezy, a perfect day to go on a stroll! First when you arrive in Otorii station, we recommend you exit the west exit. After a while you arrive at Haginaka Park.

It was morning on a weekday, but there were a lot of children coming to play.

The sidewalks were in a small hill area; where the surrounded were a traffic park where replicate street lights were there to help children learn how to safely ride a bicycle. We immediately saw a child practicing riding his bike.

There were sand areas, jungle gyms, the traditional play structures and some that were shaped a little bit differently, many things in the large area that would make children happy. It is a spot where you can see everything, so it seems like mothers can let their children play freely with ease.

Within the park we found a choo choo train. It was a cool SL!
The pilot seats were only open to the public; you can go inside, sit down and take pictures.
The pilot machinery all seemed very difficult, to imagine that this used to actually move; we couldn’t help but want to meet the SL from this time period.

Further into the park there are baseball parks, and an indoor and outdoor pool. All being included it is a very large park.

Now, as we make our way towards Anamori-inari station, we go to our next destination.

Next we arrived at Haneda Shrine.
It is said that there are many people that come to pray for convalescence from sicknesses, from the story that Shogun Tokugawa prayed for this and recovered. It is said that many airplane companies come to pray for safety, maybe it is also because there is an airport nearby.

In the summer there is a large festival, it is seen to be familiarized by the citizens in the Haneda areas as well. The colorful colors stand out, it was a very pretty shrine.

The scenery you can see from the inside of the Torii is very pretty. On the other side of the Torii is the Taishi Bridge.

At the bottom of the Taishi Bridge, there were people clamming as well.
In fact, there was the existence of the “Haneda’s passing” where Ota ward and Kawasaki city are passed. It seems to be familiarized as a way of transporting people, clothing, and food and so on.

We arrive at “Funayado Kamiya”. Here they rent out boat cabins and fishing boats. Fishing will be held with an instructor so beginners can enjoy as well, depending on the seasons you can taste the different type of fish. Tamagawa being mixed of fresh water and sea water, you may be to fish a lot of different types! Also the night view from the boat cabin you can see seems to truly be amazing. It would be nice to go for both experiences.

Walking in the Kagawa, the weather was very nice, so it felt very nice.

Sometimes you can see the airplanes that depart from Haneda airport; you could probably just doze off all day. There were many dragon flies flying, so the scenery has changed a bit to autumn. It really felt nice, but we continue our stroll.

While walking on Kagawa, we arrive at Tamagawa Sarasvati.

Here it has been familiarized as a Sarasvati from old times, it seems to be a shrine that is made of ashes called “goma” that come from the funerals from burning offerings and are sent to god.
It is one of the 7 good luck Inaris. It is a small shrine, facing the lake where there is a lot of sunshine.

As we start walking again, we discover a large Torii.
Here it is said that the Anamori-inari used to be. After the war, this whole area was cleared out by the US army, but the Torii miraculously stands today. It feels like even now the Torii is praying for peace.

Next we go towards Anamori-inari station to our next destination.
