Urban hiking

The apartment I stayed in was very small, it might make a New Yorker feel cramped. It wa one room and a bathroom. Woke up the next morning and decided to go to ueno to see the big park and the huge museum complex there. There are also a number of shrines there as well, like everywhere ...
