Today I went to Shimotsuma which is one of the neighbouring towns to Tsukuba. I am only aware of it because it appears in the film “Kamikaze Girls.”
I got the bus from outside KEK to Shimotsuma Station.
After walking around Shimotsuma, I had lunch at the “Forest of the Aristocrats.” I had pizza – yum!
I did not see what was so aristocratic about it!
I also visited the nearby park called Kokaigawafureai which was full of wild flowers.
