Urban Garden

After Tsukiji I headed to the nearby Koishikawa Korakuen Garden (I'm only saying that once). Tokyo is a very overbuilt city but it does have a few
green spaces and like much of Japan, an effort is made to make things look beautiful.

The gardens are a nice quiet oasis within the concrete and steel jungle of the city but even here you can't completely escape civilization as one whole side of the garden lies innthe shadow of the towering Tokyo Dome Sports Complex and Baseball Stadium.

On my way back from the garden I finally get to try The Pungency. A cold milk tea beverage from the omnipresent vending machines. It's sweet and strong for tea but nowhere near a level of odor and taste to deserve the moniker of The Pungency.
