Our trip to Okayama: Day 2 Tivoli Park

Day 2 started off with a sunrise trip to the rooftop onsen. What a view.



Then it was off to Tivoli Park, which is pronounced 'Chibori' (チボリ公園)in Japanese. I later found out that it is named after a famous park in Copenhagen. It was very fun and had a very strong Copenhagen/Hans Christian Anderson theme.

The cobblestone roads and narrow winding alleys of 'Old Copenhagen'





It may be called 'Old Copenhagen', but the souvenirs are definitely Japanese.

Fountain with a large stage behind it.

Opposite view, the same fountain with Hiroko & Miku, Yukiko & Jo, and Tivoli Tower behind them.



The old pirate ship looked great, right out of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Unfortunately it was closed this day :(

It did rain while we were there. Luckily, we ducked into an Italian restaurant during the worst of it.







Jotaro and Miku liked the garden best of all.









This is a statue of a famous clown. I thought it was pretty scary looking though and worth a picture. It's those ruby red lips, makes it look like the Joker from Batman.

The 'Yoroshiku bus'





And that was our trip to Tivoli Park.
