Day 4 Shin-Edogawa Garden Visit

After the tremendous 2^nd day in Tokyo we were eagerly waiting for a new exciting day. Like always the morning was just pleasant. We got up and went to the university after having breakfast at a local shop.

 Since we reached a little early to the university we just roamed  around and  discovered a very beautiful park close by to the Waseda university it was just a delightful spot. It was like a dreamland. The aroma was really making us fill fresh and it seemed to be just like an evergreen environment.

  Under the direction of Yuri- san we went to the beautiful garden named Shin- Edogawa garden. It is the park which is selected as one of the best history park in japan. One can enjoy the various views of the garden in each seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

We really had a great time there and enjoyed a lot. We clicked many pictures as the scenery was just beautiful. After all this we walked backed to the university where we had lunch, it was a happy meal. Later we attended Professor Masakazu Iino’s English lecture on sociolinguistics along with the other university students, it was a great experience interacting with the Waseda students in discussing about culture.

After attending the lecture for one and half hour we went to a place just besides university where we had some of the Japanese students from the Waseda university itself who performed a Japanese dance Yosakoi Soran, it was just awesome type of dance and was very  eye catching,  most energised folk dance I  ever experienced before. Later many of us got a chance of learning some steps of that dance which required a lot of stamina and focus.

After that some of us visited Aikiabara (electric town). It was a beautiful place where we could find most of the electronic gadgets. We then proceeded to cats café (it is the place where cats are been taken care nicely).

We came back to hostel and were very tired due to traveling and other activities thus the day was too good we had our dinner and went off to sleep but on the way before having a nice sleep we were still deciding About The place to visit the next day thus the day came to an end with lots of amazing and wonderful things. It was a well spent day. And something which can never been forgotten.
