		The park is sort of like Barton Springs on a good weekend: a bunch of people hanging out, clustered in little groups, doing their own thing.
		Gwen observed that some of the dwellings would pass for regular homes in Mexico, and indeed we saw one that seemed to be made of 1x2 sticks, carefully measured and nailed together square with a peaked roof, with blue plastic tarp stretched taut and neatly over the whole thing.
		All the camps in the park were about as orderly as you can imagine a homeless camp being (this is Japan), and Bryan likened them to the Hoovervilles of the 30s, an apt comparison in a lot of ways.

		Further to the west is the Tama district, a broad expanse of residential communities, including Tama New Town, a planned housing development that is expected to reach a population of about 300,000.
		Beyond the park, the narrow lanes of the Nezu and Yanaka districts preserve the character of the old city’s residential quarters.
		The radiating highways and expressways that were put in to modernize the road network are usually badly overcrowded, and traffic moves at a slow pace.

	Tent Cities in Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It is a large park and is very popular with the young people on the weekends (and summer holidays, like when we were there - street bands, many vendors along the sidewalks, lots of life and activity nearby the park or along side the park).
		In these parks, they vastly preferred the informal community that exists in the tents with one another to the shelters, of which there are very few in number anyway.
		Crime is very unusual and cities are safe places as are the parks with the homeless (you will see kids and people using the parks without concern or fear of the homeless who, however, still are not in "their faces", being at the fringes of the parks under the trees, away from the main sidewalks).

		During the day, Oedo Onsen is just the latest amusement park du jour: you pay admission to eat, shop, soak, get massaged or try an assortment of sadomasochistic vending machines that will attack and pummel your feet with wood, pressure or shiatsu balls for 100 yen (about $1) a pop.
		Yoyogi Park, centrally located in the upscale neighborhood of Shibuya, is one of Tokyo's largest and most beautiful green spots.
		And though homelessness is hardly new either to Tokyo in general or its parks in particular, contrasted with the homeless elsewhere in the world and their destitution and chaos, the "blue people" of Tokyo's parks seem to have found one of the more strange yet workable solutions.

		There is no other park like this one in Tokyo, where you can move and play as freely as you like.
		The people who spend time in Yoyogi park, as well as neighboring Shibuya (and Harajuku to some degree) -- though Yoyogi is most radical -- represent a kink in Ishihara's idea of how people should conduct their lives.
		He considers Yoyogi park a government-sanctioned area which encourages people to fritter their lives away being useless hippies, embracing the ideals of liberals, such as a strong appreciation for nature as a place to live life (as opposed to concrete jungles), practicing free speech and free exercise (as is rife in Yoyogi), etc.

		The plan, which was leaked by the Yomiuri and seemingly by no one else, appears to involve "redeveloping" 71.4 hectares of land that includes Yoyogi Park, and 35 hectares of the Outer Gardens of Meiji Shrine.
		We called the Parks Division and they said that their understanding is that only the parts of Yoyogi that are already developed and which currently are out of bounds to the public are those areas which will be developed.
		Take 1% of that and allocate it for more parks, another 1% for childcare, another 1% for looking after the homeless, and you would be giving far more benefit to the people of Tokyo than would be brought be yet another empty concrete carcass littering the landscape.

		The Luxembourg is the exact antithesis of Anglo-saxon parks such as Hyde Park or Central Park: here, you won’t find large lawns and semi-virgin bits of forrest inside the city.
		As a result, a sizable share of the park is made up of huge bare alleys planted with armies of meticulously aligned trees.
		And outside the park (the side that runs along Bd St Michel), the fence periodically hosts coffee-table style picture exhibits (this one dedicated to D-Day commemorations).

		Park It I took the Yamanote Line to Ueno this afternoon, it was drizzling and the sky was a uniform grey color.
		While Yoyogi Park felt more like a traditional shrine; something carefully maintained and preserved, Ueno Park felt as though it had been taken over by the needs of Tokyo's urban symptoms.
		After circling most of the park I decided to head back to Ikebukuro, but not before stopping at the 100yen shop outside of Ueno station for some boxers and a new bandana.

		The Tokyo metropolitan government has been working on a 1 trillion yen plan to redevelop Yoyogi Park and its surrounding areas as the main venue for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, it was learned Friday.
		Under the plan, which involves the redevelopment of a more than 100-hectare swath of Shibuya Ward, the metropolitan government is planning to construct a cluster of Olympic-related facilities, in the hope that Tokyo will win the race to host the Games, a race that also includes Sapporo and Fukuoka.
		Ironically, by destroying the park, Ishihara's proposal would finally clear out the reeking tent village of homeless people that embarrassingly dominates its southeast end.

		It was an interesting twist, I thought: in most American parks, you'll see people training in tai chi or kung fu; here, they train in sword-fighting.
		It's the mark of a damn good grove of trees: the locale is distinct, but the place attracts people who want to hang out, to relax, to take out some aggression on a Frisbee, to get their groove on or just to people watch.
