Japan Trip 2013 - Ueno Park

Since time was still on our side having saved a lot of time from queuing for the sushi, we then proceeded to Ueno Park. In a way it's a refreshing sight to escape from the concrete jungle of Tokyo for awhile.

Ueno Park is probably one of the only area in central Tokyo with so much greenery around. Due to our tight schedule, we only visited a part of the park, which was their lotus lake. The whole park itself is really really huge and it would take more than half a day to cover all the attractions, at a slow pace of course.

The lake is pretty damn beautiful. It's one of the biggest lotus lake I've ever seen and there are least more than 100 lotuses out there in full blossom. I believe the park would be even more magnificent during Spring or Autumn but we only had to be contented with a dull grey overcast of a sky.

Apart from enjoying the scenery, people also come here to do their morning exercises as well as other leisure activities. Hopefully one day I will be back here to cycle around the lake. That would be really nice :D
