The people’s forest and flower park in Imabari is something of a throwback to the 1980s. It’s a public park within earshot of some major highways, and it has the unmistakable look of a municipal facility. Nevertheless, people continue to visit it for the flowers and wildlife that inhabit the park, and it does have a couple of exciting slides for children.

I have been there since I was a child. Especially, cherry brossam for spring and greenery for summer are nice.
