Ueno is a part of Tokyo, along the lines of Ginza. It contains a park which is built on a hill (stores are built into the bottom) It's amazing; once you're in the park, you can barely hear the city anymore. The park contains a forested area, zoo, cafes, and a variety of statues and remains of Ieyasu's temples and samurai forts (I believe that's a temple in the picture) Masashi and I wandered around the park for hours.

Okay, so this isn't techincally of Ueno, but I thought it was a cute picture anyway.

Back to side trips!
