🌿Tokyo Otemachi Forest｜Embracing the spring greenery in the steel forest

#TokyoItinerary Walking through the busy streets of Tokyo, you may stumble across the "Otemachi Forest" hidden in the Otemachi business district. It's like a surprise gift from the city to travelers. There are no traces of deliberate carving here, but the greenery is allowed to spread freely in the most original posture. I remember the first time I passed by here. The vegetation in midsummer was as lush as a green dome. The sunlight was filtered by the layers of leaves and turned into golden fragments. The stone road under my feet was filled with shade. Although I passed by in a hurry, I have remembered the tranquility in the coolness. This time, I visited in mid-spring, just in time to see the vegetation dressed in new green - new buds blooming, the delicate leaves were translucent, and even the wind was filled with the freshness of grass and trees. Choose a wooden chair and sit cross-legged. Looking up, you will see towering skyscrapers, and looking down, you will see a forest carpet covered with fallen leaves and sunshine. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches, weaving mottled light and shadows on the ground. Occasionally, the sound of birds leaks out from the treetops, and it feels like time has slowed down. Although it is located in one of the busiest areas in Tokyo, it is still so gently embraced by nature. This wonderful experience of "symbiosis between city and forest" is probably the most moving charm of Otemachi Forest. There is no need to look for scenic spots deliberately. Just relax, daydream, read, or quietly observe the light flowing through the leaf veins in this green space, and you can harvest another kind of romance unique to Tokyo. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, remember to come here to steal half a day of leisure and let the fresh green and sunshine soothe your fatigue from the journey. #TokyoTravel #OtemachiForest #TokyoSecrets #NaturalPoetryInTheCity
