Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden Postcard:
A digital postcard from the “Pacer Virtual Adventure Challenge – Japan Sakura” series. The image shows a stone lantern beside a calm pond with trees in early spring colors. Text reads “28/61 km – Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.” On the right side, a handwritten-style note describes the garden as a peaceful blend of Japanese, English, and French landscaping styles, known for cherry blossoms.

Chidorigafuchi Park Postcard:
A postcard from the same virtual challenge series. The image shows a scenic waterway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees, with people boating and city skyscrapers in the background. Text reads “24/61 km – Chidorigafuchi Park.” The note on the right highlights the park’s location by the Imperial Palace and its tunnel of pink blossoms along the moat. Signed by Allison.
Ueno Park Postcard:
This postcard shows a path through rows of red torii gates beneath tall trees. Text reads “18/61 km – Ueno Park.” The accompanying message explains Ueno Park’s historical significance as one of Japan’s first public parks and a popular spot for spring cherry blossom viewing (hanami). Signed by Allison.
Smashed through 3 cherry blossom checkpoints since Tuesday—Ueno, Chidorigafuchi & Shinjuku Gyoen—all from the comfort of my trainers, walking pad and imagination. 33.5 km down, crushing virtual goals like a digital legend!
