As you cross the bridge you will

parking area where we start

the "T" intersection on
the other
side. The entrance into the parking
lot will be on the right about 100ft/50m down.
During certain times of the year like festivals
and Cherry Blossom Viewing
Season it is crowded
so the soccer fields next to the parking lot
will
be opened up for parking, which they will
charge \QOO.

We usually start just to
the left of the bridge that you crossed amongst the
cherry trees near there. In any case follow start arrows from this
point as
we may
have had to move to another location nearby.
