The Lonely Mikasa Park Fountain Performance

Located right next to the U.S. Navy base is Mikasa Park.

The main attraction there is the Memorial Battleship Mikasa, which has been turned into a wonderful museum ..... Here the museum's an English language PAMPHLET.

Go deeper into the park, and there are greenery areas, a music stage, places to sit & relax, watch the ocean, etc. --- all-in-all, a well maintained, clean, and peaceful park.  (And it is free.)

Then, there is the fountain, which does musical performances (every one-and-half hours, starting at 11:00) ..... It is place where one can feel a sense of pathos, or lonely magic, an existential moment perhaps --- especially at times like weekday afternoons, when there is pretty much no one in the park, and the fountain performs for nobody...

     













From April to October, the fountain performs at night, with lights ..... beauty in emptiness
