HLNA Tokyo is amazing.
First things first, they have a Wahoo Taco, if you are from California that is nice but I did not bother eating at this one.
This park is amazing. It's on Odaiba Island in Tokyo, on the roof of a shopping mall. In the evening, it's nice to just chill on the roof and board. If it's any rain, this place will close.
Lesson is, if you are going to visit Tokyo and you skateboard... bring your board.
We moved from Southern California and prior to moving here I visited skateparks all over that area. Now I'm visiting parks here in Japan and although many websites exist for parks in Japan, I can add a few photos for each park I visit. Photos and some thoughts.
First park is Shonai Nagoya.
This park, if you read online reviews people will warn you that there are a lot of rough kids here.... not really, I talked to lots of kids in the park and everyone is very friendly.
But if you are in Nagoya and you skateboard, this park is worth a visit.... technically you need to sign a waver and get a blue wrist band before you board. But as far as I can tell, no one checks till about 10 minutes prior to closing.
9 Years later, I'm returning to Japan with my family.
I won't get into the details but I will start posting on this blog again. Japan is slowly opening up the boarders and I can share random observations. So, please enjoy!
