Written by The most amazing site from yesterday travels was the immense impact of the Cherry blossoms everywhere. People were picnicking under the blossoms throughout Ueno Park, and the cherry trees were in full bloom lining many of the city’s streets.
We really enjoyed the Tokyo zoo, where the Giant Panda is a main attraction, and there were other animals we had never seen before. We also rode on a suspended monorail at the zoo.
The Tokyo history museum was very interesting and entertaining, as it had many models and interactive exhibits. We finished the day with Tokyo friends, with a traditional Japanese dinner (sitting on the floor in traditional room). We had the wonderful marbled beef that they have only in Japan, boiled right at our table and dipped in a variety of sauces. Also, vegetables, sea urchin, shrimp tempura, straw mushrooms, rice noodles, bean sprouts, and edible wild plants.
