No I wasn't being a bum in a park, there is an actual campsite in Tokyo on the bay. I had a lot of time to kill so I want to Kasai Rinkai Park, which is next door to the Tokyo Disney Land. I didn't have any desire to see Disney Land. Surprisingly it looked like they had all the same rides as the one in California. I was planning on seeing the aquarium in the park, but it was closed on the one day I am there. It's a nice park and I my comeback for night pictures of the gaint ferris wheel.
In the afternoon I get out of the park and takw the train one stop over. The park and camp ground is on a huge man made land mass. The area was all industrial, with a golf course, and shipping trucks driving all over. I had and hour walk to gett all the way down to the park and campsite at the end. As a walk there is a single huge wind turbine in the distance that I know is at the park. I was so hungry and tired, the wind turbine slowly got bigger and bigger. I finally made it to the park and ate dinner under the giant turbine silently turning in the wind.
The campsite is at the very over looking the ocean. Camping is a loose term here, as you can see in the pictures it is next to a highway bridge. People come here to pretend to camp. I saw a guy spend a lot of time putting up a tent, take it down, then and leave. Maybe he was practicing. Planes flews over constantly, making their decent into the airport. A construction crew worked on the other side of the trees behind me until nightfall and I wake up to their noisy jackhammer in the morning. This feels more like a place for people to feel homeless for a night than an actual camp ground.

| Japan sure does have a lot of ferris wheels. This one was the biggest so far. |
