Shinjuku Gyoen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (新宿御苑 Shinjuku Gyoen?) is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family (daimyo) in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.

History
The imperial gardens, which were once meant for the royalty, were completed in 1906 and destroyed in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) with Shinjuku Imperial Gardens in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the gardens became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".

Features
The gardens, which are 58.3 hectares in area with a circumference of 3.5km, blend three distinct styles: French Formal, English Landscape and Japanese traditional. A traditional Japanese tea house can be found within the gardens.
The gardens are a favourite hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) spot, and large crowds can be found in the park during cherry blossom season.
Flora
The gardens have more than 20,000 trees, including approximately 1,500 cherry trees which bloom from late March (Shidare or Weeping Cherry), to early April (Somei or Tokyo Cherry), and on to late April (Kanzan Cherry). Other trees found here include the majestic Himalayan cedars, which soar above the rest of the trees in the park, tulip trees, cypresses, and plane trees, which were first planted in Japan in the Imperial Gardens.
Horticulture work has been going on in the greenhouses in the gardens since 1892. The present greenhouse, built in the 1950s has a stock of over 1,700 tropical and subtropical plant species on permanent display.

Entrances and admission
The gardens have three access gates: Shinjuku Gate, Okido Gate and Sendagaya Gate. Shinjuku Gyoen is open from 9:00 until 16:30. On Mondays the gardens are closed, except during the cherry blossom and chrysanthemum seasons: late March--late April and early November respectively, when the gardens are open seven days a week. The greenhouse, usually open from 11:00 until 15:00 is closed until some time in 2011. The last admission is 16:00.
Admission is JPY 200 for adults, JPY 50 for children.

Location
The gardens are a short walk from Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station on the Marunouchi Line or Sendagaya Station on the Chūō-Sōbu Line.

The garden is on the Fukutoshin Line near Shinjuku-sanchōme Station. From that station the garden is a four-minute walk.
Shinjuku Gyoen should not to be confused with Shinjuku Central Park, a small green area located behind the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Nishi-Shinjuku. Čerešňový kvet

Japan Trip 2012 Tokyo Shinjuku Gyoen Park Japanese Garden kaminoike (3)

Shinjuku Gyoen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (新宿御苑 Shinjuku Gyoen?) is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family (daimyo) in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.

History
The imperial gardens, which were once meant for the royalty, were completed in 1906 and destroyed in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) with Shinjuku Imperial Gardens in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the gardens became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".

Features
The gardens, which are 58.3 hectares in area with a circumference of 3.5km, blend three distinct styles: French Formal, English Landscape and Japanese traditional. A traditional Japanese tea house can be found within the gardens.
The gardens are a favourite hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) spot, and large crowds can be found in the park during cherry blossom season.
Flora
The gardens have more than 20,000 trees, including approximately 1,500 cherry trees which bloom from late March (Shidare or Weeping Cherry), to early April (Somei or Tokyo Cherry), and on to late April (Kanzan Cherry). Other trees found here include the majestic Himalayan cedars, which soar above the rest of the trees in the park, tulip trees, cypresses, and plane trees, which were first planted in Japan in the Imperial Gardens.
Horticulture work has been going on in the greenhouses in the gardens since 1892. The present greenhouse, built in the 1950s has a stock of over 1,700 tropical and subtropical plant species on permanent display.

Entrances and admission
The gardens have three access gates: Shinjuku Gate, Okido Gate and Sendagaya Gate. Shinjuku Gyoen is open from 9:00 until 16:30. On Mondays the gardens are closed, except during the cherry blossom and chrysanthemum seasons: late March--late April and early November respectively, when the gardens are open seven days a week. The greenhouse, usually open from 11:00 until 15:00 is closed until some time in 2011. The last admission is 16:00.
Admission is JPY 200 for adults, JPY 50 for children.

Japan Trip 2012 Tokyo Shibuya Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoyogi Park (代々木公園 Yoyogi kōen?) is one of the largest parks in Tokyo, Japan located adjacent to Harajuku Station and Meiji Shrine in Shibuya.
History and features
What is now Yoyogi Park was the site of the first successful powered aircraft flight in Japan, on December 19, 1910, by Captain Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, after which it became an army parade ground. During the post World War II Allied occupation of Japan, it was the site of the Washington Heights residence for U.S. officers.

It was later the site for the main Olympic athletes village of the 1964 Summer Olympics and the swimming, diving, and basketball venues. The distinctive Yoyogi National Gymnasium which hosted swimming, diving, and basketball was designed by Kenzo Tange for the Olympics, and is still in use, but most of the area north of the gymnasium complex and south of Meiji Shrine was turned into a city park in 1967.

Today, the park is a popular hangout, especially on Sundays, when it is used as a gathering place for rock music fans.[5] The park has a bike path, a public basketball court,[6] and bicycle rentals are available.

The Tokyo bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics included a new arena to be built west of the Yoyogi National Gymnasium for volleyball. It would have replaced an existing soccer field and athletic field, and would have remained after the Olympics as a multiple use venue.

Birdsong zenpukuji Park Tokyo Japan 善福寺公園 小鳥の囀り

参考資料　Wikipediaより

善福寺公園（ぜんぷくじこうえん）は東京都杉並区にある東京都建設局所轄の都立公園である。

概要
善福寺池を中心に、遊具・遊歩道が整備され、市民の憩いの場となっている。また、善福寺池は善福寺川の水源にもなっている他、東京都水道局杉並浄水所の水源になっている（23区内で、井戸が水道の元になっているのはここだけ）。北と南に2つの池がある。池を中心に、憩いの場として整備され、公園としては1961年6月16日に開園。井の頭池（井の頭恩賜公園）・三宝寺池（石神井公園）と並び武蔵野三大湧水池として知られている。2006年4月1日 - 2011年3月31日まで、指定管理者制度により財団法人東京都公園協会が管理する。
なお、中流の杉並区成田西から成田東にかけて善福寺川緑地があるが、全く別の公園である。
善福寺池は、古来より武蔵野台地からの湧水池として知られていた。まだ農村だった江戸時代には、貴重な水源であった。また池は遅野井池とも呼ばれ付近一帯の上井草村は別名遅野井村とも言われた。善福寺の名の由来は、池のほとりにあった寺の名前に由来しているが、江戸時代に廃寺となっている。また、ややこしいが近辺に「善福寺」という名の寺が現在あるものの、これは福寿庵という元々違う名前だった寺で、後年地名をとって改名した物であり、池の名前の由来にはなっていない。

湧水量も多く、近辺には武蔵野の雑木林を思わせる木々も多くあり、野鳥や草花も豊富で、都内でも数少ない自然豊かな公園である。

Spot-billed duck zenpukuji Park Tokyo Japan カルガモ 善福寺公園

参考資料　Wikipediaより

カルガモ（軽鴨、Anas poecilorhyncha）は、鳥綱カモ目カモ科マガモ属に分類される鳥類。
A. p. zonorhyncha　カルガモ

分布
大韓民国、中華人民共和国、朝鮮民主主義人民共和国、日本、ロシア東部
日本では主に本州以南に周年生息（留鳥）する]。和名は「軽の池」（奈良県橿原市大軽周辺とする説もあり）で夏季も含めて見られたカモであったことに由来すると考えられている。

形態
翼長オス25.4-27.6センチメートル、メス24.3-26センチメートル。次列風切の光沢は青紫色で、次列風切や三列風切羽縁の白色部が小型で不明瞭。
少なくとも亜種カルガモはオスの腹部の羽衣が濃褐色で、羽毛外縁（羽縁）の淡色部が小型になり胸部との差異が明瞭。尾羽基部を被う羽毛（上尾筒、下尾筒）が光沢のある黒。メスは胸部と腹部の羽衣の差異が不明瞭で、上尾筒や下尾筒が黒褐色で羽縁が淡色だったり淡色の斑紋が入る。

生態
湖沼、河川などに生息し、冬季になると海洋にも生息する。渡りは行わないが、北部個体群は冬季になると南下する。
食性は植物食傾向の強い雑食で、種子、水生植物、昆虫などを食べる。狩猟で撃ち落とされた本種で、3.2-6.6センチメートルのオイカワを30尾食べていた例もある。水面でも陸上でも採食を行う。
繁殖形態は卵生。亜種カルガモでは集団繁殖地（コロニー）を形成することもある。水辺に巣を作る。基亜種は7-9個、亜種カルガモは10-12個の卵を産む。亜種カルガモの抱卵期間は26-28日。少なくとも基亜種においてはオスも育雛を行った例がある。雛は孵化してから2か月で飛翔できるようになる。
繁殖期前期（交尾から栄巣地の探索程度まで）はつがいで行動するが、メスが抱卵・育雛を行っている間、オスは概ねオスだけの群れを形成する。繁殖期が終わると、まずメス親とヒナとの関係が消失する。その後は不透明であるが、越冬期前には、雌雄で構成される大群を形成する。

人間との関係
日本のカルガモはアヒルとの種間雑種が存在しているとされる。アヒルの原種はマガモであり、3代も野生で放置されると飛翔するほどになるが、日本のカルガモもアヒルと交雑することで、元々は狩猟の対象であり、ヒトを恐れていたはずのカルガモも前述のようなヒトを恐れない行動をとるようになっていったと考えられている。照明の多い都市部では夜間に飛翔する個体もある。
外形に関する遺伝形質はカルガモの方が強いため、見た目はカルガモでも性格はアヒルに近いものが現れたと分析される。

切手のカルガモ
カルガモは現在日本で使用されている90円普通切手のデザインのモデルにもなっている。
