A big monument right between Ueno park and the train station.


Kanzaki-san again, on my last day in Japan.


Hitomi and me (with no glasses, obviously) in the ferris wheel at Tokyo Dome.


Hitomi, about the 17th time I'd taken her picture, despite that I wasn't supposed to. Hmm..


Asakusa, from on top of a ride at Asakusa Hanayashiiki ("Flower House").


More of Asakusa..! Note the pagodas and large concrete buildings so close together. Kinda strange.


Asakuasa.. and my finger!


Asakusa.. I just like the look of large cities.


Kaminarimon (Thunder gate temple?), in Asakusa.


Same, but the entrance to the temple.


(one of) The place(s) I went to karaoke.


The living room, subway maps, and PC in the hostel, all free for use.


The kitchen at the hostel. Not bad. Has everything you need to cook.


Right in Ueno park.


The monorail in Ueno zoo.


Monkeys at the Ueno zoo. Yes, I went all the way to Japan to see monkeys at a zoo.


Penguins! Strangely enough, I have a zoo less than 2 miles from my own house. Hmm..


A big mock-up of the panda from Spain. You can get your picture taken. Regretfully, I didn't get mine done.
