Cherry Blossoms at Night in Ueno / 上野の夜桜

So after our hearty seafood meal at Toro Hako, we then decided to walk to Ueno Park to check out the cherry blossoms in bloom at night.  If we went a little earlier, most of the park would have been lit up but when we went, it was a little after 8:30pm.  Still, the cherry blossoms in bloom are beautiful.

トロ函で満腹になったあと、近くの上野公園で夜桜を見に行くことになった。もった早く行ったら、ライトアップされてたんですが、私たちが行ったときはもう8時半過ぎてた。

Yes, that's another shrine in the distance.

はい、向こう側に別の神社かお寺があります。




I think my Mom and I have a picture of standing in front of this statue when I was still in elementary school.

うちのどこかで僕が小学校時代、お母さんと一緒でこの西郷隆盛銅像の前で同じ様な写真がある。

And I collected yet another goshuin from Shimizu-do in Ueno.  It's one of my latest hobbies.

そして上野にある清水堂の御朱印をもらいました。御朱印を集まるのが最近の趣味です。

Welcome in my neighbourhood! :) This year I didn't make it to Ueno Park. I'm sad and grumpy about that, so it was nice to visit by proxy via your blog!
