Tokyo - From the JR Ueno station it was a short walk to
Ameyoko, one of the popular and crowded streets with stores selling clothes, shoes, dried foods, etc

Next, we walk to
The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo. The building is is one of UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tokyo. You are able to view many Western Art including modern Rodin Sculpture and Monet paintings from France.

It was surprising to find so many security guards at every corner of this Tokyo Western Art Museum. After spending many hours at this museum and our legs are aching, we stroll slowing to the nearby Ueno Park and was lucky to come across a farmers market.

| many fresh pickles and dried foods |
A short walk through the park we came across
Toshogu Shrine. This shrine was built in 1627 and one of the places to visit in Ueno.

Winter time brings vibrant colours to the Ueno park and it was so beautiful.

| Beautiful blend of nature |
After all the walking we had a satisfying sushi dinner....
My kids still crave for more sushi and we found another stall that was value for money.
