Today I went down the river to Tokyo Bay and then around to Tokyo Disneyland. A trip down memory lane in many respects.
18 or so years ago I worked at Tokyo Disneyland as a popcorn vendor and did ice cream too in summer. I used to live in Shioyaki near the new Myoden train station. I only ride down that far about once or twice a year and each time it brings back many good memories. I met my wife in Disneyland too. She worked with me on close to 80% of my shifts and that’s how we got to know each other so well.
Tokyo Disneyland has changed so much since then it’s hard to recognize some of the surrounding streets. Disny Sea is now where the staff car parking area was. New hotels are where Disney grew a lot of it’s plants and trees. The monorail. More people.
Today I also took a different route along the Edo river. For the first time I went from Matsudo down the Chiba side to Baraki. Everytime I’ve gone down the river I’ve always gone from Matsudo on the Tokyo side. My first ride was over 10 years ago on my trusty old Gary Fisher too small for me mountain bike.
It was a pleasant change and easier than I thought. Very different scenery and atmosphere. Riding lower and closer to the water in some parts under a shady tree lined cycle way. Felt like I was somewhere else. That’s one of the beauties of living near Tokyo. It’s such a busy crowded place that when you take a different route to normal you discover so much more. A funny thing I saw today were two dumped safes that must have been stolen. I wanted to take a photo of them but decided not to arouse suspicions and kept going.
