In 2019 I was lucky enough to be in Japan for the grand opening of the new Matsuzakashi Skate Park in the MIE Prefecture of Japan.
This shot is from the Matsuzakashi FaceBook Page
The Park is utterly enormous and I really wish I would have brought a drone along to really give a good feel of exactly what I was seeing. Below here is a fisheye shot looking into the big flow bowl with Samantha Milligan cruising through.
I rolled up to Matuszakashi with Uzi Matsui and Samantha Milligan from Osaka.
One of the first people I ran into once inside the skatepark was Ryuji Nakamura. This dude is great at helping me feel super timid as he is in better shape than me and 5 years older. Much love to this dude for utterly ripping!

Uzi Matsui and one of the baddest bowl rippers from Japan, Souta Tomikawa at the park. If you have never seen Souta skate check his Instagram NOW.
If you ever cruising between Yokohama or Nagoya you might recognize these two ladies, Kaoru.0411 and Saori Kojima. I noticed Samantha Milligan getting a quick shot with these ladies and figured I would PHOTO BOMB her.
Always great running into Yumeka Oda. Yumeka is definitely the future of Japanese Skateboard Ladies. Check out Yumeka's Insta here
