Inokashira Park & Jindai Botanical Garden (November 7th)

Chrysanthemum Water Fall at Jindai Botanical Garden.

Today we were going to go to Okutama, but when we got to the Mitaka Station, we found that there was no Okutama Holiday Special train because of some construction. So, we decided to walk to Inokashira Park and then went back home, rode the bike to Jindai Botanical Garden to see the chrysanthemum exhibition there.
