Nice place, but an absolute nightmare to get to. Tiny countryside roads except with traffic lights everywhere and Tokyo traffic.

Named after Hans Christian Andersen, but it is called Anderson Park? Where is the logic in that?

Danes and Norwegians mostly spell the name Andersen, other countries spell it Anderson. H.C. Andersen was Danish.
