Where dreams are made

With unexpected good weather over this weekend, a drive out into the “country” was decided on.  Heading north, the destination soon became Sera (世羅), in particular, せら夢公園 (SeraYumeKouenn – Sera Dream Park).  This particular park funded by Japanese taxpayer dollars, is in the middle of nowhere.  The roads leading to the park are new and wide supporting crowds of people from all over the ken.  Officially opened in early April 2006, after an initial visit last year whilst my parents were visiting, this second time out did not disappoint.

Himeji Central Park

Himeji, located approx 1 and a half hours from Hiroshima by slow (Kodama) bullet train, is home to Himeji Central Park (姫路セントラルパーク) – one part amusement park, one part safari.   Spent a whole day enjoying the unusual mix of Japanese Golden week holiday madness and African safari all in the one place.
