Todoroki Valley, Tokyo

Todoroki Keikoku is a park in Tokyo. It is located right between my grandparent's house and the nearest station, Todoroki. I have passed through the park numerous times. In summer it's a few degrees cooler than the surrounding streets and urban area.

Part of the temple complex

Across the bridge to right are stairs leading up to the temple, which I did not visit this time.


A huge snake on the fence next to the walking path. Easily over one meter in size. It seemed used to people as it id not move as we approached and more people gathered to watch.

The snake entering the river

The snake was an excellent swimmer
