So the morning had us visiting Nijo Castle first. At this point the sun still didn’t come out, but luckily the rain stopped from earlier in the morning. While the tour was interesting and structure was nice to look at, this probably was one of the less enjoyable stops of the day. Although we only [...]

So that wraps up Kyoto day 1. After we looked around downtown Kyoto, we went back to our hotel so that we could get a lot of rest since the next day would be another fun filled walking day. Unforunatly, it rained on our way back to the hotel ( I would put up pictures [...]

So after we came back to Kyoto, we quickly dropped our bags off and signed in at The Westin Miyako before heading out to downtown Kyoto. Unforunatly, because our tour during the day ran rather long, we came back at around 7:00, which only gave us a couple of hours to do some [...]

Our last little mini trip was a 2 day trip to Kyoto and Nara. While you aren’t able to bring all your luggage with you due to space constraints, you can leave it at the hotel at no extra charge.
Again, our day started out bright and early at 7:00am to catch our bus [...]

He tried to eat me! seriously…no lie…..
This was the first time we ever saw a panda up so close! All he did was eat and eat and eat some more.
On our way into Tokyo National Museum. As big as Ueno Park is, it’s really easy to find your way around.
Haha, some of the kids were [...]
Blog 29 – Ueno Zoo
Posted in Japan on October 8, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So if you are in the Ueno Park area, another must see place would probably be the zoo (assuming you like animals). Although the only zoo I went to was the Toronto Zoo, I never saw pandas so this was a first for both of us. Unfortunately, there was only one giant panda [...]

Our first stop at Ueno Park was the Tokyo National Museum. There are over 90,000 items held in this museum and they often have various features. It was really interesting to see the different artifacts that were on display, especially the different Kimonos and Katanas. If you only visit one of the museums [...]

Luckily, we made it to the subway station just in time after our tour of the Imperial Palace to avoid the rain as once we got to the station, it started to rain. We decided to head over to Ameyayokocho for lunch as it is right beside Ueno Park. Ameyayokocho is an interesting [...]
