I Go to Tokyo

 

I went to Tokyo to celebrate the 88th birthday of my father-in-law yesterday.

We call it 'Beijyu' in Japanese.

Family members could get together after a long months of interval due to COVID-19.

All members of the party participants had wonderful time together.

After the party, my wife and I went to Ueno area in Tokyo and visited a museum and local temples.

We enjoyed staying in Tokyo very much.

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.

Tokyo Ueno Park, Galleries and Museums

I went to Ueno to stroll about a park and visit several museums and galleries.

I had little knowledge of the Tower of Babel before seeing the exhibition.

The tower was elaborately made and exhibited with sound and special illumination.

A half-broken mimic of the Statue of Liberty was displayed in Ueno park. 

It is said that the figure was once displayed at a pachinko, or pinball game shop in Tohoku area, broken by the Great Japan Earthquake, being transferred several places, then now, is looking for another place to be displayed.
