| Japan, a country known for its famous gardens
and parks can now add another to its list... the Apricot Apron Park at Narita,
Tokyo's International Airport.
 
The 550 square meter plot lined with apricot tress symbolizes the bitter
dispute between the critics of the New Tokyo International Airport and the
authorities. The plot had been used as a barganing chip by a group of land
owners opposed to the expansion plans at the airport. The location of the
new Terminal Two was dictated by this plot, but pilots still have to use
tractors to help maneuver their planes around the plot to the gates.
