Ueno

We took a trip down the Ueno. Pretty fun day! First stop we checked out a street market district called Ameyoko (short for Ameyayokocho... that name is serious business).

The sign at the beginning of the street.

Just keeps going forever.

They had frozen octopus!

Evan impersonating the price tag... thing... at this sandwich place.

After a while we regrouped to get to our REAL destinate: the Tokyo National Museum. To get there we had to walk through Ueno Park (which is a fairly large park it turns out...).

Candiece in the park.

Then we saw these street performers with these freaky hats...

And I found Waldo!

Cool kimono lady.

Inside the Museum we saw some pretty amazing stuff. Exhibits ranged from ancient pottery (some of the first pottery ever made in Japan) to fantastic murals. There was some armor and weaponry too :P

Beautiful ink landscape.

This sword was presented to Uesugi Kenshin as a gift from Takeda Shingen's father.

Coolish: ice cream in a pouch...

The Flame of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
(this was in the park as we left the museum)

Like I said. Pretty busy day.
