I took the Nippori-Toneri Liner from Nishi-Nippori Station and visited Toneri Park for the first time. It's a very large metropolitan park located near the border between Adachi Ward and Saitama Prefecture. I went specifically for the autumn leaves, but the southeast area is mainly large open spaces, and the foliage there was only about 20-30% colored by mid-November. It was a clear, sunny day, so small flying insects were a nuisance, but children were happily playing on the many playground equipment in the plaza, and many people were strolling around the park, each enjoying their day off. There was a bird sanctuary, ponds dotted around, and a rich variety of greenery.
