Some shots at Ueno Park

Went to Ueno Park, which is fairly nearby. The park/area is home to many of Tokyo's museums, non of which we have checked out yet.
Temple and covered lake.

Huge area of coverage from these lotuses(?). Look like the are verging on blooming
Long running festival just getting underway here.
This little performance went on at the temple around dusk. Some Shamisen playing and some kind of acting out of the song. The music is definitely an acquired taste - one that i am not likely to acquire.
