| | Funabashi Seaside Park, Kasai Seaside Park, Chiba |
 | | The stiff bay breeze scatters the diesel choke thats still lingering in your nostrils from the hike over from Yatsu, and the pungent reek of horse manure from the Funabashi Racetrack that youve been inhaling since alighting from the station is blown right back onto the parimutuel bettors, where it belongs. |
 | | One advantage that Funabashi Seaside Park has over Yatsu is that its natural, and whereas Yatsu walls you in from the surrounding urban uglification, Funabashi frees you from it. |
 | | Whereas Yatsu is strictly for those who want to watch birds, a prime advantage Funabashi offers is that if your outing includes childrena species of animal famous for having no interest whatsoever in birdwatchingwith swim togs, a pail and sand shovel they can cavort, excavate and empire-build along the expanse of shallow, briny mud. |
