"After the devasting Tsunami of 2011, my heart started to ache for Japan again. I had to go back, with the fear that Japan would be lost to the world one day, and the anticipation to re-enter the dream again." ~Wynter

Day Four - Ueno
Although the cherry blossoms weren't ready when we went to Japan, I still wanted to visit Ueno Park (known for its Sakura-lined paths). Along the way, we stumbled onto Ameyoko, a more typically "Asian" market street. The vendors here were very friendly!

One of the benefits of leaving really early in the morning is that you miss the subway rush!
