Tokyo - Day 7


In the picture: The Statue of Saigo Takamori, Sculpture of the Thinker by Auguste Rodin, and a shrine in the Ueno park.
Nearby is the Ameya-yokocho Market called Ameyoko for short. This area used to be a thriving flea market immediately after the end of the WWII. There are over 500 shops that sell everything from basic foods to high-class imported goods at reasonable prices, and thus it is very crowded.
