Everything was pretty closed and empty, although it was quite bright.
When we arrived, it turned out that the tournament had ended *yesterday*. So we walked back to our hostel to find something else to do.
We settled on Ueno park. It was quite scenic, and had a number of features to see.
Some turtles taking shelter on a raised piece of wood. There were a few ponds there.
There were also a number of statues in the area. This is of a Japanese prince, mounted on a horse. This was around the time that Japan was becoming more western; note the outfit he is wearing. It is very similar to a British uniform.
There was a temple nearby. It was fairly small, and strangely badly kept. We thought maybe it was only seasonal, and no one had tended it in a while.
The local science center. It is closed; everything seems to be closed for us today.
We spend the rest of the day in Akihabara. As it always seems to when we go to Akiba, it rained; though we were prepared for it this time. It was quite productive, and we got most of what we were looking for.
