Last weekend I went to Koganei Park. It’s actually not
far from me but I hadn’t visited before so I finally got the chance! I also
went to the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum which is in the park. At
the museum, I read about the big earthquake and fires in the Kanto region that
destroyed so many buildings and homes in Tokyo and how people rebuild it again.
Looking at how Tokyo is now, it’s very difficult to imagine it all being
destroyed! I was really interested in the museum because it was outside in the
open and I don’t think I’ve been to a museum like that before; it was a new
experience! It was really cool to walk around and see the old historical
buildings and architectural styles, especially because you could walk inside
some of the buildings and see the insides too. Unfortunately, I didn’t have
enough time to see everything before closing time and the park is so big that I
couldn’t see all of it too, so I must go back sometime! Until then, I’m looking
forward to having some adventures with my friend from New Zealand during Golden
Week and learning more about Japan!
