When I visited Lake Kitagata in late April, I found the spacious lakeside park so charming with beautiful cherry blossoms and green lawns. I entertained myself watching people enjoying themselves in the park. There were many children there with their parents, and they were having fun cycling on the Humming Road (a cycling course in the park) on normal bikes, or on fun bikes (Omoshiro Jitensha) in the designated space. Adults were either taking naps, taking care of their children, or romancing beside the lake. Some were in a swan-shaped boat and others were just appreciating the gorgeous view of the lake and flowers. Just watching them made my day beside this beautiful lake!

Seems your are unlucky in that regard, Olga. I was standing in a queue yesterday and looking at lots of Japanese guys - even middle-aged ones - doing just that!
Thanks Daniel, it's a lovely place! And yes, I guess many boys/men carry women's bags here in Japan I guess. And FYI Olga & Cathy, maybe I'm lucky but my husband always carries my bags and everything heavy for me...YAY!
