I was in Ueno Park in Tokyo a few days ago, and the trees were beautiful. I don’t think they are peak color yet, but I still enjoyed them very much.
It was a week day, so the park wasn’t very crowded.
The lotus plants are done for the year, but they will be back again.
There was a flea market. I looked around but didn’t buy anything.
I visited this park in August and it looked very different. Japanese people like to say Japan has four seasons, and it is very true.
Tuesday, I went to Tokyo to the Metropolitan Art Museum. (I will post about that soon). I decided to go to the Panda Cafe for lunch, having heard about it from Queenie, who blogs at Queenie’s Needlework. It is located in the Matsuzakaya Ueno department store.
I chose an udon noodle set that came with a little fruit dessert.
This is what the department store building looks like. It is very close to Ueno Park.
Thank you, Queenie, for this recommendation.
The entry ticket for the “Women of Power” exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum included the rest of the museum. I looked at a few sections, even though I’ve seen them before.
