Day 46, Good Day for a Duck, Tokyo

We spent most of the day in and near Ueno Park, site of the most cherry trees in Tokyo. Cherry blossom season, or Sakura, is obviously a big big deal and there was a festival atmosphere with lots of food and drink booths set up. Rain and more rain continued until mid-afternoon, which may have been to our benefit because the crowd wasn’t huge. Japanese families and friends often celebrate with Hanami, or picnics under the cherry trees. But not today. I’m first to admit that I’m obsessed with cherry blossoms! And from what we saw today, they are at their peak. 🌸🌸🌸
We then celebrated the end of our tour in a karaoke bar (our first). 🎤Okumaya devam et
