hot springs, and gyms if you have a tattoo in Japan,
but an amusement park too?
It's a shame but as long as you cover up,
you shouldn't have any problems.

It's really cute!
❷
Child's Forest
Although this area is named as a children's forest,
it's just a fun space for kids to be kids!
There's a super long slide that the kids loved going down on.
The jungle gym is big enough for adults
to play with the kids too which was a nice change of pace.

WINTER ILLUMINATION AT TOSHIMAEN

TOSHIMAEN WINTER FANTASIA
Tokyo during the winter gets dark pretty early.
Once it does (around 4:30pm),
that's when all the lights come out to play at Toshimaen!

A lot of the area was pretty "American" themed,
but it was still really pretty and something to enjoy!

TOSHIMAEN SKATE RINK
Adjacent from Toshimaen is an old school outdoor skating rink!
We say it's old school because apparently every night
they build the ice by spraying water on the rink every night.
