20090125 Giveaway - Where is Haruhi 2

Darn! The previous question was too easy!
Clue was:-
"Amazon De Wa Doko?" = "Where is Amazon DE" = "Where is Amazon Germany."
"DE" is the TLD for Germany.

Congrats to all who answered "Germany" but I found it strange that all answered "Hohenschwangau Lake" and thats because I previously posted the photo but forgot about it! But we still managed to loose some gladiators on the way ^^;

Round 4 - lets make this harder. Where is Haruhi?
No clues as you have enough info in the photo.

Now for the
Rules:-
- Please be as specific as possible
- You *must* include the link to your previous correct answer by using the comment ID anchor like...

- Only gladiators who answered correctly from the previous round get to battle in the second round.
- Deadline is this time tomorrow-ish.
- You got one attempt.
- Arms installation is complete. Good Luck! Nao-chan is waiting for you - just look at her eyes!

After surfing through all the places you could have been at (tsuruoka, kinuta, Tokyo Ueno, and Yoyogi park of many). I’m guessing it is Kanagawa Prefecture’s (神奈川県) Mitsuike Park (三ツ池公園).

If it’s Yoyogi, I’m going to slap myself for not trusting first instinct. >.<
Then again, if it’s not even in Japan, I’m going to do a 大 belly flop for the next time I visit the pool.

Hehe, I already thought that was what the DE stood for. We'll, not much hints here, and it's about time we have a winner, so without looking at anyone else I say:

Ueno park, Tokyo.

  I bet there was only one or two people who actually found the picture without using other people's answers as a hint (looked up the name of the park and found the pic in a click). I didn't ruin the round, just revealed the obvious.
